Carey,
If you regard this as harassment, I feel for your customers...
Dorfman,
From other posts by Carey, it appears that his altruistic offer to
provide you with free, one-on-one advice is prompted by his inability to
accept criticism. Criticism is an unavoidable result of posting on
Usenet. Instead of posting his advice on Usenet, so all can see and
learn, he chooses to provide advice thru email.
Consider carefully the free advice which he provides. If the advice
includes instructions to install additional network components, consider
this.
The Windows platform (including Windows 9x and NT/2000/XP) has its
networking infrastructure based upon TCP/IP, with NetBIOS Over TCP/IP
(NBT) used as an interface between TCP/IP and the various networking
applications.
Any properly configured installation of Windows will run just fine with
these components.
Be selective when accepting advice, web pages or otherwise, that
contains instructions to install redundant and unnecessary components,
such as IPX/SPX or NetBEUI. Adding these extra components may serve as
a workaround, but will add needless complications that may cause
problems in the future.
Diagnose and fix the problem - don't just fix the symptoms.
