Sorry to say, lots of Microsoft Windows users are not informed of a common security leak in their network settings.
- Client for Microsoft Networks
- File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
- NetBEUI Protocol
- Internet Protocol TCP/IP
If your setup allows NetBIOS over TCP/IP, the security problem that most likey you encounter are (1) files can be shared in the web and (2)your log-on names and computer names as well are all visible to others. At the same time, computers that are not linked to any network can also have dangerous set of connections since the network settings can be changed when the internet is installed.
