Need to network a few XP machines, Windows 2003 (standalone) server
and a Linux box (obviously needs Samba to talk to Windows). Setting up
Active Directory would require setting up a domain, a DNS server and
all that other good stuff that I am actually trying to avoid because
some of the machines, including Windows server, can be powered down at
times.
I would also like to keep things secure and block all NetBIOS traffic
on ports 135-139. Sufficient networking can be had with "NET USE" or
by running \\hostname\sharename in Windows Start>Run. I would still
keep port 445 for Samba.
1. Does it make sense?
2. Is there anything else I could do to improve
security/reliability/performance?
