Win XP doesn't seem to offer NetBEUI as a protocol, and
SBS 2003 specifically doesn't support it. However, I
added it to a W2K machine, with no apparent effect; I
still get halts of 45 seconds or so, with spikes up to 2
minutes.
None of our machines have SPX installed. We're using
DHCP, and IPCONFIG shows that the NT 3.51 machine is
getting a DNS and WINS address properly.
Does the order of bindings for TCP/IP vs. NetBEUI on the
3.51 box matter? Also, what are the five "Remote Access
WAN Wrappers" on it for?
Thank you!
