I'm not all that familiar with networking or protocols and couldn't find a similar question here or elsewhere. One of my security people is asking whether SQL Server requires NetBIOS for Named Pipes. I found this article that says NetBIOS should be disabled, but it's rather old and not from a source I've heard of.
