NetBeui is NetBIOS running over another transport like TCP/IP or Netware. Windows 98 uses NetBeui (so there's probably many millions of machines that still use it). Windows 2000 and XP use NBT instead. > Samba speaks NetBIOS/SMB/CIFS on TCP/IP, not netbeui. SMB is a higher layer protocol that runs on top of NBT. Samba can also speak Netbeui too - I have done this to share files between Win95/98 machines and a Linux box. Im assuming Samba is backwards compatible. -- -- [email protected] mailing list
