You did well to un-install NetBEUI. Nothing in Windows networking
requires it, and running more than one protocol on a network is likely
to cause problems, especially when XP is involved.

Try simply disabling the Computer Browser service on the XP machine:

1. Right click My Computer, and click Manage.
2. Double click Services and Applications.
3. Double click Services.
4. Double click Computer Browser. If the Service status is Started,
click Stop.
5. Set the Startup type to Disabled.

Thanks for the input, Steve. I have saved a copy of your post for use
when an XP machine gets added to my home (or our office) network.

You're welcome, Joe.
