Wireshark – NBNS Name Query Problem

by grey hat geek . Updated 17 years, 6 months ago

While looking at Wireshark on my network this evening, I noticed that there are numerous NBNS name queries going out to computers that were located at my old job. I have stopped the netbios service, but they are still happening. My previous job did have a mixed network. Here is an example of what I am seeing.

192.168.1.102 192.168.1.255 NBNS Name query NB GYM_HP3_LAPTOP<00>

There is another computer that it will do the same thing on as well. Any ideas on how I can stop all of these queries? I no longer work there and would like to see that traffic stopped (it really is alot of traffic). Thanks for the help.

BTW, I am using Vista Ultimate Edition, computers at old job all had Win XP SP2
