You can still use NetBEUI under Windows XP. Hope the following instructions an associate shared with me help. I have nnot tried them out myself because I have had no need for this protocol.
Stan Loo ***************** Support for the NetBEUI network protocol has been discontinued in Windows XP. The NETBEUI protocol was developed in 1985. It is used by network operating systems such as Microsoft LAN Manager, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft Windows 95, and Microsoft Windows NT. The NETBEUI protocol implements the OSI LLC2 protocol, and is a non-routable protocol. You can install NetBEUI in Windows XP, but it is an unsupported protocol. You should be able to use NetBEUI on Local Area Network (LAN) connections, however you will not be able to use NetBEUI on a Remote Access Service (RAS) connection. RAS connections cannot use NETBEUI. To install NETBEUI in Windows XP, do the following: The files necessary for installing the NetBEUI protocol on Windows XP are Netnbf.inf and Nbf.sys. Complete the following steps to install NetBEUI: 1. Insert your Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and browse to the Valueadd\MSFT\Net\NetBEUI folder. 2. Copy Nbf.sys to the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers directory. 3. Copy Netnbf.inf to the %SYSTEMROOT%\Inf hidden directory. (NOTE : To make a hidden folder viewable, perform the following steps: a. Click Start , click Run , type Explorer , and then press ENTER. b. Click Tools , click Folder Options , and then click the View tab. c. Under Advanced Settings , click Show hidden files and folders under the Hidden files and folders Folder. ) 4. Click Start , click Control Panel , and then double-click Network Connections . 5. Right-click the adapter you want to add NetBEUI to, and then click Properties . 6. On the General tab, click Install . 7. Click Protocol , and then click Add . 8. Click to select NetBEUI Protocol from the list and then click OK . 9. Restart your computer if you receive a prompt to complete the installation. The NetBEUI protocol should now be installed and working. NOTE : %SYSTEMROOT% is a Windows environment variable that identifies the directory where Windows XP is installed (for example, C:\Windows). To view the value associated with %SYSTEMROOT%, as well as other environment variables, at a command prompt, type set, and then press ENTER. ************************************************* ----- Original Message ----- From: "Javier Valencia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 12:32 PM Subject: RE: Cannot print graphics under Win XP on HP 4050N printer > I am considering upgrading to XP PRO and just run the utility that Microsoft > recommends you use before upgrade to verify compatibility.
