DHCP not working after NetBIOS over TCP/IP disabled
- by user27515
I want to disable the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" device in the device manager to free port 445. But after doing that my Internet stops working. I'm connected to a WLan router using DHCP on WinXP, and it is stuck forever in the "acquire network address" step.
Why does it misbehave like that? I don't need NetBIOS!
