I have been a dutiful MS customer and upgraded my servers and desktops to Windows 2K3 and XP. Unfortunately I cannot use this critical application any more. The business that owns the application basically told me to suck eggs when I explained the situation. Is there a configuration or kluge to fool the other side of the dial-up network to think that the XP is running netbeui?
The simple solution is to run NetBEUI under XP. It is not supported by M$,
but it does work under XP. If you have a real (OEM or retail) XP CD, then
NetBEUI is on the CD; if you only have recovery CD or no CD, then you'll need
to google for it. If you decide to install NetBEUI on your XP PC, make
sure you follow the directions exactly, or it will appear to install but
it won't work; the directions are in a .TXT file in the same folder with
the other NetBEUI files.
