netbios and sql replication

If i have netbios enabled on the distributor is there any way to make it
not request netbios information to the subscriber? I have the
subscriber in the host file and in the client network utility. That
should halt nebios request, but it doesn't. The subscriber keeps seeing
netbios request coming from our distributor?
Would adding the subscriber to the lmhost help more then adding it to
the host?
thanks,

probably not. Hostname resolution goes through a hierarchy trying to resolve
the hostname, sometimes Netbios cache, WINS server first, broadcast,
lmhosts, hosts, DNS, sometimes DNS (if the host name has a . in it) first.
It depends on a variety of settings.
Why is this important to you. Once the server knows about a name it caches
it and doesn't do the lookup again.

|||Our subscriber is complaining about netbios request from our distributor
in their firewall logs.
The subscriber is in the host file so our machine shouldn't even need to
do a netbios request. However, for some reason it is. Also, the host
file does work. I can make changes to it and they take place
immediatly.
Mostly I just want to stop it to make the subscriber happy.
