Weird, I can't see why it would cause a problem though.

either way, running netbios over the internet is still not recommended. http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/netbios.htm if you're still intent on doing this, i should let you instant message with me..... *sniff sniff*

I think he means to access it from his own network. Not hacking into someone elses. Netbios can be very well used and secure, it just required common sense, such as not letting it open to public. It takes about 1 minute to crack a 8 char password, so even password protected ones don't do too well, it's best to always have it behind a router. I'm trying to get this linux router to work so I can have dual routers, but by the way it's going, I'll end up using windows 98 and download a 3rd party application, and install a firewall. Stupid isa network cards are a pain to get detected in Linux.

Hmm that would be interesting. I don't think it's possible,unless you have special drivers. I never even heard of internet on dos period (though it IS possible) but I'm sure there might be special drivers for it. I'm not sure how it would be done though. Would probably involve adding a few lines in config.sys and it would load the drivers for the network card and required modules for netbios. Something I should actually look into, if ever I have a disaster and dos is the only way, it would make backing up easy. Though I use ntfs so probably not...

Not sure what OS you are using, but I think I remember how it is under win98 so I'll explain it under win98 and 2K... Win98 Go to the control panel, choose network properties, go to install, then choose protocol in the list and choose NETBUI. Win2K Go to the control panel, choose network and dial-up connection, right click on local area connection (I think it says that for everyone, not sure) and you will get the same dialog as when you clicked network properties in win98, so the rest is the same. I hope this helps.
