I want to unbind NetBIOS from TCI/IP to increase security on my web server. To do this I go into: Network_Properties->Bindings->Show_Bingings_for_All_Services->NetBIOS-> and click Disable. Is this the proper way to?

I made the changes on one web server and it still works fine. However, on the second, after making the changes it can no longer browse the network or the internet. The servers are configured the same. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Make sure the host file and the Wins and Dns are setup properly on the server.

The best way is to uninstall,netbios, tcp/ip, Under
the network properties then under the protocol tab, Reboot then reinstall,netbios, Tcp/ip
again, That will unbine and uninstall all the protocol.

If I reinstall both protocols, will they bind again. Microsoft recommends unbinding NetBIOS from TCI/IP for enhanced sescurity on a web server, though they do not tell you how to do it.
