On a large LAN should Netbeui be removed to help with congestion problems?

It really depends on the LAN and protocol in use: If I assume you mean a LAN that primarily uses TCP/IP - then "yes" it might be a good idea to remove NETBEUI, or any protocol you are not using.

NETBEUI is broadcast intensive, however some companies use NETBEUI along with TCP/IP for redundancy, but the answer to your question is probably a "yes, remove it."

But then you knew that already didn't you?
