TCP/IP AND NETBEUI
We all know that when we search the Internet we use TCP/IP protocol to
communicate with other computers around the globe. But sometimes we use Netbeui protocol too. Someone told me that the Netbeui protocol is very efficient protocol to use when you are using in a quite small LAN. And do not need routable .so question arises. When we use both TCP/IP and Netbeui the same time. What will happen? When computer try to communicate to other computers, which use both TCP/IP and Netbeui too. What protocol will be used? Or do computers use one instead of the other? Or do they use both protocol simultaneously? |

TCP/IP AND NETBEUI
Generally, what happens is that your network starts acting strangely and you
can't figure out why. Only one protocol should be bound to File and Printer Sharing at a time, and I generally recommend that you use TCP/IP for this because it's fairly simple to configure, generally already installed, and allows for troubleshooting when necessary. -- Richard G.

Netbeui is rarely used anymore... but you may want to look at this if you have a special case: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/netbeui.htm |

TCP/IP AND NETBEUI
Netbeui is very fast in a small network but it also creates a lot of network
traffic because it broadcasts messages rather than sending a message to a specific computer. There should not be any problem with using Netbeui locally as well as TCP/IP - in fact multiple protocols were installed by default in earlier versions of Windows when you added network support and this did not create a problem. That said, it isn't necessary. The only reason to add multiple protocols is to be able to communicate with computers that do not use your primary protocol so if you had computers on your network that did not use TCP/IP for some reason and you wanted to communicate with them, you could add the protocol that it was using - such as Netbeui or IPX/SPX.
