If you add NetBEUI you will have to unbind NetBIOS from IP otherwsie you gain nothing and you don't want to remove TCP/IP or you won't access the Internet. If you follow my initial set of instructions, you don't have to add NetBEUI and fuss with unbind NetBIOS from IP. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
From: Andy Medina on 8 Mar 2010 17:02 I agree with David, don't use NetBEUI. It is a *VERY* talkative/noisy protocol and there is really no need for it. NetBIOS/TCP will do just fine for the LAN sharing. IPX/SPX is more (but not exclusively) for Novell networks. I definitively wouldn't use that protocol unless an app (or game) needs it. As for SMB, it basically replaces NetBIOS/TCP for Printer and File sharing starting with the Windows 2000 version and it runs on top (or over) TCP (SMB/TCP).

More at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block I once had to setup a SOHO LAN using IPX/SPX for a multi-user network game. However I can't remember that Game's name and a few years have gone by. IPX/SPX was great for games because it is a faster, more tunable, network protocol than TCP/IP. Pegasus Mail (P-Mail) was Netware aware and it communcates natively via IPX/SPX to work with Netware as a multi-user office email application. Not too much call for IPX/SPX these days. :-( -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
