I've noticed on my new laptop that SMB is now being transmitted directly over port 445 instead of using NetBIOS over TCP, which is good, I suppose, but now it seems chattier than ever. TDImon shows about ten packets being transmitted about once a second. This is way more data than needs to be transmitted, especially considering that I'm not using any SMB stuff at the moment. I have used it to mount a share and to print, but there's nothing going on right now. Even so, the network activity monitor in the systray is going nuts. Is there any way I can get Windows to shut the f*ck up?
