The NDISWAN may be related to the cable modem.
Most other installs of networking don't use it. If you need to log into the cable service, that's probably why it's there. You don't need it attached to local LAN nics, only the nic going to cable modem.
if you are playing over a LAN, and tcp/ip is the protocol, you can even get rid of NetBEUI. NetBEUI is a broadcast protocol, not a routed protocol, and packet delivery is not guaranteed. that's what makes TCP/IP so good for networking. And everything your nic puts on the network, it does in all loaded protocols for that connection.
