Re: MS "UPTIME" ??? Like the UNIX command ???

Server is the Display name for LanmanServer (Service name).

The Sharing tab is not visible if the Server service isn't running.

This will restore the Server service (lanmanserver) so it will be listed in
Services.msc.

Workstation is the Display name for LanmanWorkstation (Service name).

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service depends on
LanmanWorkstation.

The Workstation service is also needed for Local Users and Groups.

The Client for Microsoft Networks component is actually the Workstation
service.

Thanks for the explanations. Now I understand why "net statistics"
doesn't work and why I don't have those two services listed in my
services.msc -- they were uninstalled, not just disabled.

It's coming back to me now: in Jan 2005 when I got XP, I uninstalled
File and Printer Sharing, NetBIOS, and Client for Microsoft Networks.
(This advice was in Thomas Greene, /Computer Security for the Home
and Small Office/.) This might not be practical for some, but I don't
have any kind of local network here since I have only the one machine
and I have no desire to share files over the Internet.

In the 13.5 months since then, I haven't noticed any problems --
until the fact that "net statistics" doesn't work. I can certainly
live without "net statistics". :-)

Is there anything else non-obvious that I might be missing out on?
