WINS and Dialup
Problem:
The router dials every 7 min. or so
 
Solution:
Disable Wins on the computer make a lmhosts file and a host file
Use the regfix and disable port 138 and 139 on the router.
This has been testet under W2K and shuld work under NT as well.
If you are installing a fresh copy of W2K you would need to have Wins enabled to register the computer whit the domain controller, after reg. you must disable Wins again.

Lmhosts:
192.168.1.10 server #PRE #DOM:DOMAIN
192.168.1.30 mailsrv #PRE

Hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.10 server

regfix.reg:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters]
"MaintainServerList"="Auto"
"IsDomainMaster"="FALSE"
"MasterPeriodicity"=dword:00200000
