   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.
