Murthy,
The Windows Machines are causing the Link to be brought up due
to that they are trying to use DNS for NETBIOS Name Resolution.
This is a little quirk with Windows Networking. With WinNT
Systems you can easily disable this by TCP/IP Protocol Network
Control Panel Dialog Setting related to WINS Addressing. With
Win9x Systems it is a little trickier in that you must modify a Registry
Setting. Attached is a Registry Edit Macro File which will change
the DNS Enable. Note, once this Macro is run, it will appear
that all DNS functionality is disabled when you look at the Networking
Control Panel DNS Dialogue -- this is not the case, only DNS related
to NETBIOS Name Resolution is disabled. If you need to perform
further DNS Edits (such as add DNS Servers), then enable DNS
from the DNS Dialogue, perform changes, save, and then reapply
the Registry Macro.
In addition to the above, you may want to filter all NETBIOS traffic
from causing DIALD from activating the Link. Below are the filter
rules you will need to add to your filter file:
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-ns,udp.dest=udp.netbios-ns
ignore udp udp.dest=udp.netbios-ns
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-ns
ignore udp udp.dest=udp.netbios-ssn
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-ssn
ignore udp udp.dest=udp.netbios-dgm
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-dgm
ignore tcp tcp.dest=tcp.netbios-ns
ignore tcp tcp.source=tcp.netbios-ns
ignore tcp tcp.dest=tcp.netbios-ssn
ignore tcp tcp.source=tcp.netbios-ssn
ignore tcp tcp.dest=tcp.netbios-dgm
ignore tcp tcp.source=tcp.netbios-dgm
