She mentioned "NetBIOS over TCP/IP disabled" which is generally implemented
on Windows systems that connect to the Internet to protect them against some
pretty nasty attacks since leaving this open is pretty much like going to
the local jail, handing everyone a key to your house and your address and
letting them know when you won't be home. You may have read this as
choosing NetBIOS rather than TCP/IP and disabling TCP/IP which is not the
case. In short, she wants to use TCP/IP, but also wants to protect it from
outside attack by choosing this option.
But, if she had meant disabling IP and using NetBIOS, I too would be rather
amused.

Well, actually *wanting* to use Netbios instead of IP is just about the
funniest thing I've heard in the last five minutes, but *why* is it that
they want it setup that way?
I thought that even under windows they no longer had a separate protocol,
and that it was all encapsulated with IP anyway. Is that not the case? If
not, you're out of luck with Samba - I don't think there's even support for
the protocol under linux.
Explain to them though that if they use IP, there's this great new thing
called "the internet" that they'll be able to use. Once they're on "the
internet," they'll forget about this silly netbios thing...
