No you cant test a webserver (Zserver as an example) without TCP/IP.
Since HTTP uses TCP uses IP for transfer of data.
See rfc2616 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec6.html )
If you want security, NetBUI is much more insecure as TCP/IP for
itself :)
My advice: install TCP/IP, disable any services you dont need, including
NetBUI over TCP/IP and Microsoft Printer/Datasharing and use ftp 
to move files around (better: use Zope and HTTP to move subtrees or the
whole Zope-documenttree around)

HTH :)
