Re: No netbeui in XP Since you're looking for thoughts I always found NetBEUI the best and robust way to go. In NT (XPs closest heritage) you could play all day with TCPIP and still have shares. 
NetBEUI was already pretty old when it got popular as a good way to share unprotected hubbed-together 2-IP/2-PC cable connections. Now that most run NAT routers and software firewalls it's probably time to let it go. But I'll miss it, too.
SPX/IPX is a pretty good alternative but in today's security PC "zombie" environment this non-routable protocol idea is obsolete. |
