As far as I know, NetBIOS was a own protocol once. Nowadays, Microsoft uses some components of it for networking via TCP/IP. When you access the properties of your network connection and choose "advanced", there is an option for deactivating NetBIOS. When you have Windows XP: Choose properties of you LAN connection properties of TCP/IP "advanced" (right part on the end of the properties window) click the third title "WINS" Here you might be able to deactivate NetBIOS, but I would not recommend it, because it is used for communicating with older systems and non-Windows enviroments.

Also when you disable your firewall you are risking the possibility that Internet Criminals can access your computer.
