You would only need it if your PROTOCOL.INI file had not already
loaded support for NetBuei (NetBios). Look for the protocol.ini
file in your \NET directory. You should see several references in
it to Netbuei.
Since you are obviously already loading NB support in the ini
file, take the reference to "NETBUEI" off of your autoexec.bat
"NET START" command.
BTW, the M$ defaults for "SESSIONS" and "NCBS" that you will see
in the [NETBUEI] section of PROTOCOL.INI are usually inadequate.
Make sure you have at least 16 Sessions and 32 Ncbs. The change
will take a bit more memory, so if you are using a memory
manager, be sure to re-optimize after making the change.
