Introduction

NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) are TCP or UDP broadcast packets that enable a computer to connect to and communicate with a LAN.

For some dial-up services such as PPPoE or PPTP, NetBIOS packets cause unwanted calls. You can configure NetBIOS filters to do the following :

•Allow or disallow the sending of NetBIOS packets from the LAN to the WAN.

•Allow or disallow the sending of NetBIOS packets from the WAN to the LAN.

•Allow or disallow NetBIOS packets to initiate calls.
