remove IPX and Netbeui as protocols in your network panel, that's usually
the best thing to do.  You can also remove the bindings for Windows
Networking from IPX and Netbeui and only have it bind to TCP/IP if for
some reason you need IPX around (ie, for Doom).

there's no reason whatsoever to have Netbeui installed at all, AFAICT.
