Re: NetBios over TCP/IP

Yep, I agree.. I just posted that the default will still show NetBIOS
over TCP/IP disabled... :)

For some reasons, you have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP on W2K/XP but
using ipconfig /all still shows NetBIOS over TCP/IP disable. The
alternative solution will be installing NetBEUI to all computers.

Have a pleasant day.

Hi, Jeffrey. I recommend not installing NetBEUI. It's an unsupported
protocol in Windows XP, which means that Microsoft hasn't tested it,
doesn't guarantee that it will work, and doesn't give technical
support on it. In my experience, installing a second network protocol
in Windows XP is likely to cause even more problems.

To the original poster: Make sure that you're enabling NetBIOS over
TCP/IP on the right connection, and set it to "Enable", not "Default".
If that doesn't solve the problem, try un-installing and re-installing
the network adapter in Device Manager.

If you do install NetBEUI, un-bind file sharing from TCP/IP on all
computers, as I show here:
