the point of netbios over tcp ip? IN A win2k3 domain

I am setting up a win2k3 domain and a consultant told me
to make sure every 98 box had netbios over tcp/ip checked?
first of all how do I do this and second is it necessary.?

what does this enable me to do by having netbios over
tcp/ip enabled?

thanks

For starters browsing requires NetBIOS.
