To remove the NetBIOS support layer that is above TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups 3.11, remove the file name VNBT.386 from the transport line in the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:

transport=....,vnbt.386


NetBIOS applications and NetBIOS browsing and name resolution do not work after this change, however, the Sockets application interface is still available for applications like FTP and Telnet.
