NetBIOS or NetBIOS over TCP/IP in today's world...any need?

Show all headers | View raw

As the subject says...is there a real requirement in a home LAN setup where I 
have a single OS/2 machine and multiple Win (XP) computers to run any of these 
setups?

My interconnectivity between the machines is accomplished through FTP, that 
really means an occasional file x-fer...the printer is networked, scanner is 
connected to my OS/2 machine only.

I have also tried NFS, which appeared to be OK. Looked at Samba, but I have not 
done enough research to really understand what base OS/2 components are required
(if any) to make this work.

Basically, I have no real extensive file sharing requirements...so does it make 
sense to run any of these setups?

I continually run into problems attempting to install updated device 
drivers...and each and every time I narrow this down to an out-of-memory 
condition. Therefore, I am on a mission to remove as much of the overhead as 
possible.

Thanks!
