Verifying the procedure
Once your system reboots, you may want to verify that the procedure was successful.
To make sure that NetBIOS is unbound from TCP/IP, return to the Network dialog box. From here, select the TCP/IP protocol that's bound to your Dial-Up Networking adapter and click the Properties button. When you see the warning message box, click OK to continue.
As the TCP/IP Properties dialog box pops up, click the NetBIOS tab. You should now see that the "I want to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" check box is clear. At this point, click Cancel twiceâ€"once to close the TCP/IP dialog box, and once to close the Network dialog box. Doing so will ensure that you don't accidentally enable something.
Now, you can surf the Internet without fear that the backdoor is unlocked and that someone is lurking through your files.
