Installing the NetBEUI Protocol - 2006/11/04 00:15
Microsoft no longer supports the NetBEUI protocol as part of WindowsXP.
You can add it as a installable protocol by going to the VALUEADD MSFT NET NETBEUI
directory on the CD ROM.
Note: %SYSTEMROOT% refers to the drive and directory where you installed WindowsXP.
Typically this is in the C:WINDOWS directory
1. Copy the nbf.sys into the %SYSTEMROOT%SYSTEM32DRIVERS directory
2. Copy netnbf.inf into the %SYSTEMROOT%INF directory
3. Open the Network connection properties for your local area network and use "Install..." button to add NetBEUI protocol
I included a zipped file with the above files and a simple batch file to copy both to the appropriate directories
This is only if you absolutely need NetBEUI. It is not at all a necessary requirement for most networks.
