Where it NetBeui at?!?!
So I am trying to do the standard local networking with my two machines. One is Win2K, the other is XP RC1. Now, I usually use NetBeui as it is fairly secure as it is a private connection between two computers and has nothing to do with the internet.
So I am trying to do the standard local networking with my two machines. One is Win2K, the other is XP RC1. Now, I usually use NetBeui as it is fairly secure as it is a private connection between two computers and has nothing to do with the internet. However XP seems to be missing this protocal!! All I can do is XP's custom "Home Networking" crap. And when I put my XP disc in my Win2K box, as it says to complete the networking, it tells me this only works with 95, 98, 98SE, ME, and XP!!!! WTF!!?? So currently I have no way to networking my 2K and XP machines. Clues?

I'd tried that, but it didn't work on XP. MS should re-evaluate NetBUEI, but I think they want it out so they can spy on us.
assign ip numbers to your internal nics in the range 192.168.x.x
calm the paranoia Brian, if ms actually wanted to spy on you do you think they couldnt use netbeui to do so? there own code? lol.
eg
.................computer1.........................computer2
internet<--->dhcp dialup.......................ethercard set to
.................ether card (192.168.0.1)<------->ip=192.168.0.2
.................gateway blank...................gateway=192.168.0.1
.................firewall on
if you really want to use the slow pig that is netbeui then you can find it on the xp disk in valueadd\msft\net. Searched everywhere huh.

I would not use NetBEUI if it was up to me, but its not. My dad calls the shots on this, and I don't see it being a good idea to mess with the settings he wants. Otherwise, I'd be doing it with the IP addresses.
I found it, and it works, but it's slow as hell even to shared folders. At least I got it tho.
I gotta book here, but I'll try to remember to post where NetBEUI is at on the RC1 disc.
