Yes -- if it's not checked, it won't be done AT ALL.
There are three basic approaches to making it work on the LAN but
not the Internet:
1. Bind it only to local interface(s). NT/2K/XP let you do that,
95/98/ME might not.
2. Bind it to a non-routable protocol (NetBEUI) and NOT to TCP/IP.
(I've never gotten this to work, but others apparently have.)
3. Install a firewall or router on the Internet connection that
blocks this service.
In all three cases, though, it must be enabled on the PC.
