Thanks, but does this also hold true for Netbeui in a workgroup
configuration? I am running Netbeui and bridging it using DLSW+.
Either way, how would one go about blocking access to a specific machine
AND make it disappear without impacting the availability of reaching other
servers on that segment?

Subject: RE: Netbios Access-Lists
Window's Network Neighborhood's done roughly this way:
1. Each subnet (broadcast domain is probably a better term here) must have
a
"master browser", the winner of that subnet's browser election.
2. All master browsers need to send what they see in their own subnets to a
"domain master browser", usually a DC (domain controller).
3. The domain master browser merges all the info, then sends out a complete
list of the network host names back to each domain browser.
4. When a user double-clicks on the "Network Neighborhood" icon, the host
goes out to that subnet's master browser and requests a copy of network
host
names.
To check if a machine is a master browser, use the "nbtstat -a hostname"
(or
"nbtstat -A x.x.x.x") command where hostname is the netbios name of the
machine.
If you can stop the communication between subnet's master bowser and the
domain master browser, the hosts on that particular subnet won't be seen
(in
Network Neighborhood) by anyone that's not on that subnet. This does not
prevent access to hosts on that subnet because all ports are still open.
HTH,
