To install NetBeui on either XP Pro or Home:-
Copy from Win CD\valueadd\msft\net\netbeui:-
nbf.sys to C:\windows\system32\drivers, and
netnbf.inf to C:\windows\inf (hidden folder).

Then the NetBeui protocol will be available in the Install Protocol dialog.

If you are using NetBT, and mentioned NetBeui in error, then the XP firewall may be stopping you.

If the AS400 can see the XP sharenames but not the files, then you must run cacls.exe on the XP box to assign permissions to the AS400 user for the folders required.
