services that can be disabled? xp

[legolas]

hi,

i read from another site that these services can be disabled if we r not on a network... i.e, single pc... is it true?

Computer Browser: If your computer is not on a network, you don't need this service. If you are on a network, leave it alone.

DHCP Client: If you are not on a network, you do not need this service. If you are on a small workgroup, you can still increase boot time by configuring manual IP addresses (which I explore later in this chapter).

DNS Client: If you are not on a network, you do not need this service. If you are, leave it alone.

Yes.

You're right .. you can disable them if you're not in network.
There are quite a lot of services which can be disabled or set to manual for in a home computer.
