1) As long as they do not have the same server name or IP then you should have no worries connecting them (there may be a few issues as to who is in charge, but win2k will sort out seniority itself). You may need to create your username and password to exist on both servers if you get challenged for authority to access files/shares.
2) NetBEUI is on the WinXP installation CD.
<CDROM>
VALUEADD\MSFT\NET\NETBEUI
To install it you need to open the Local Area Network properties and click Add --> Protocol --> Have disk. Locate the files on the CD and go from there.
Microsoft supply it, but are trying to kill it (ie listed as "unsupported"):

For the official technet installation instructions:

Any help on this would be appreciated!
1) I have two win2000 Server pc's; both of them have a domain setup, same domain name, number of clients, everything alike, just that I needed to know, is there a way to connect the two servers so that they can see and share files to each other?;
2) I have a laptop with Win XP Home, i need to connect it to the same Server machine described above, the ony thing is that on my client machines, in order to connect to the Server we use the "NetBeui" protocol and, as far as I could see, the Win XP Home does not appear to have that protocol. Is there a way to install it?
P.S. The two servers are set up as domains, but all my clients have Win 98 and are set up as Workgroup! 'Do not ask why,......'"!
