HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters Name: NodeType Type: DWORD Value: 2 If it doesn't exist, create it and give it a value of 2. Reboot the server. All gone bye-bye; cya... This happens because Windows operates as a M- or H-node by default (depends on the installation process and network detection logic). By adding this value, you change it to a peer-node, which will not use NB name broadcasts. Name resolution failures return much more quickly (don't have to wait for bcst cycles) and ISA doesn't have to waste time blocking and logging these packets. -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of William T. Holmes Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 4:18 PM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Netbois Name Requests from my external Network Interface address Hello, I have a continuous barrage of netbios name requests coming from my external network interface on my ISA server. These are being denied but I'm not sure why they are occurring in the first place. The interface does not have either the Client For Microsoft Networks or File and Printer Sharing Enabled. Is it normal for this traffic to occur from the external Network Interface?
