Have you tried lowering the MTU on the virtual adapter?

What happens when you enable the WINS check box in the site configuration
and manually configure a bogus WINS server address? Does this change the
NetBIOS over TCP/IP setting for the adapter? I may be making the ill
assumption that if WINS is not specified, NetBIOS should not be used.
Please let me know how this turns out.
