Someone told me I have to use the NetBEUI protocal to network 2 computers here in my house. They have win 95 and win 98SE. The computer win 95 was just rebuilt (software) from scratch. The computer with 98 got upgraded to SE about 3 months ago. The computer with 98 lacks the NetBEUI protocal and neither of the computers has any other matching protocals (IPX/SPX and TCP/IP). I was told to install NetBEUI but I cannot find anywhere to install it from! I may just be missing something obveious or it may be extreemly envolved. Please let me knwo what to do, wether there is a site I can download it from, or a disk, or some way around this problem. Thanks

Both systems do this similarly.

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Networks.

I haven't played with 9x for a while, so I'm going to be less than specific.

You're looking for Protocols, which may be available by itself, or under Adapters. You need to Add Protocol to the network adapter, but not your dial-up adapter (modem). NetBEUI should be the first protocol on the network adaptor.

You'll need the Windows installation media for this.

Right-Click on Network Neighbourhood and then click on Properties.

Click on ADD - then double click on Protocol.

Choose Microsoft under manufacturers and NetBEUI appears on the right
