Lets clear up one thing. Samba/Windows file shareing, is a protocol
for transfering files. TCP/IP, and Netbeui are networking protocols.
Netbios is a whole other beast, it is an application layer protocol (think
thats the P.C. term) it works indepentant (so to speak) of the network
protocol in the same sense Samba/Windows file shareing do.
Last time i checked (april maybe) Samba only support tcp/ip, where as the
M$ implementation will run over tcp ipx or netbeui
