RE: how many browser connections, and do mapped drives count?



hey, maybe this can help... here's an nbtstat -n printout (I deleted our IP
addresses, for obvious reasons):

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>nbtstat -n

Local Area Connection 2:
Node IpAddress: [xxx.xxx.xxx.50] Scope Id: []

NetBIOS Local Name Table

Name Type Status

ECLIPSE <00> UNIQUE Registered
ECLIPSE <20> UNIQUE Registered
VAULT <00> GROUP Registered
VAULT <1C> GROUP Registered
VAULT <1E> GROUP Registered
VAULT <1D> UNIQUE Registered
..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered
VAULT <1B> UNIQUE Registered
ECLIPSE <03> UNIQUE Registered
ALLMAN <03> UNIQUE Registered

Local Area Connection:

now, sorry to be uneducated about this, but I also see this when I type net
file

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net file

The command completed successfully.

All these \pipe\ commands may well be from a mis-behaved piece of home-grown
software, could this be causing a problem?
