LAN (Netbeui) with 4 computers W98SE: Adding a computer with XP PRO to network
Having some troubles which I expect I can resolve I think (probably Zone
Alarm) . As |I understand it, because of XP PRO I am forced to use TCP/IP for my LAN now for file sharing. My initial experience is that it's exceptionally slow compared to Netbeui which I have successfully used for a long time. Is there any way that I can use Netbeui with XP PRO as I feel it is much more secure than TCP/IP? My configuration is 4 (now 5) computers and some printers connected to a switch, which in turn is connected to a Draytek Vigor 2600 Router. Help please. |

It IS much slower, but not more secure. Give a bit more information on what exactly you want to do, and perhaps there's a halfway solution... |

LAN (Netbeui) with 4 computers W98SE: Adding a computer with XP PRO to network
IIRC the install for it is on your XP Pro CD
NetBEUI (NBF) is a non-routable protocol suitable for small networks. Support for this protocol in Microsoft Windows has been discontinued. If you are instructed by the Product Support Personnel to install this protocol as a temporary measure, follow the instructions below. Installation instructions for NetBEUI protocol on Windows XP and Windows 2002. * copy nbf.sys into the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ directory * copy netnbf.inf into the %SYSTEMROOT%\INF\ directory * open network connection properties and use "Install..." button to add NetBEUI protocol "ATK" wrote in message ...

ATK:
NetBEUI is available on the CDROM. It is a non-routable protocol and will not allow you use the Internet. TCP/IP is a routable protocol and is what you need if you want to access the Internet. You can have NetBEUI and TCP/IP running on all LAN nodes but that uses more RAM and more overhead. I highly suggest that the *only* protocol you use on all LAN nodes is TCP/IP and enable NetBIOS over IP to perform MS Networking. This will use less overhead, allow you to access the Internet and perform MS Networking with File and Print Shares. As always, I suggest blocking both TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on any SOHO Router. -- Dave "ATK" wrote in message ... | Having some troubles which I expect I can resolve I think (probably Zone | Alarm) . | As |I understand it, because of XP PRO I am forced to use TCP/IP for my LAN | now for file sharing.

LAN (Netbeui) with 4 computers W98SE: Adding a computer with XP PRO to network
Thanks for replies. They have given me something to think about.
I didn't mention that I already used TCP/IP on all my computers - so that they could access internet. I have TCP/IP and Netbeui bound to my various NICs, but in the W98SE environment I DON'T allow "File and Printer Sharing" to the TCP/IP connections. Over a long period the LAN has been very reliable and fast. Many thanks. Carey Holzman wrote: www.careyholzman.com/net1.htm Carey "ATK" wrote in message ...

you are right to use this method, garbiologist gave you the correct
answer, its on the CD, you don't "have" to use tcp/ip for internal networking. many websites have pages on why you should go on like you are ATK wrote: Thanks for replies.

LAN (Netbeui) with 4 computers W98SE: Adding a computer with XP PRO to network
I actually prefer IPX/SPX for a setup like yours, since it is included with
all versions of Windows without any special process for installing it. Carey "ATK" wrote in message ... Thanks for replies. They have given me something to think about.

LAN (Netbeui) with 4 computers W98SE: Adding a computer with XP PRO to network
I concur. I've migrated from five 98SE pc's to adding two new ones running
XP. I use TCP-IP only to facilitate using a proxy server running on one of the 98SE boxes (dialup only where I live), PCAnywhere (to lazy sometimes to go into other room and lan gaming. I bind nothing to TCP-IP. All pc's use NetBuie which gives easy file and print sharing. For XP it's on the cd in one of the "extra" folders. Just read the text file, copy the two files where it tells you to then install the protocol.
