We have just upgraded our WinNT 4.0 to Win2000 but found out that the Netbeui protocol is no longer installed. The effect is that we could not see/browse the other workgroups in the network, and users who log-in to this server being the primary domain could no longer see the other workgroups aside from this workgroup.
How can we browse the Network Neighborhood similar to when we still have the Netbeui protocol in WinNT 4.0?
Thank you.

Netbuei protocol is not default protocol for win2k, ms default protocol from win2k onwards tcp/ip, but you can install netbuei in win2k also from lan area connection properties and install the protocol. Then you can for pre win2k machines, i hope this will solve your problem.

Add the MS NetBEUI Protocol ...

Start --> Settings --> Network and Dial Up Connections --> RIGHT-CLICK on Local Area Connections --> Properties --> Install --> Protocol --> Add --> NetBEUI Protocol --> etc.

The Netbeui is not installed as standard. you will have to install TCP/IP and go into START -> SETTINGS -> CONTROL PANNEL -> NETWORKING AND DIALUP CONNECTIONS -> RIGHT CLICK ON LOCAL NETWORK CONNECTION -> SELECT PROPERTIES -> SELECT TCP/IP -> PROPERTIES -> ADVANCED -> WINS -> AND CLICK ENABLE NETBIOS OVER TCPIP
