peer to peer w. shared cable modem

by len . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

For the last couple years I’ve been setting up small p2p networks for the main purpose of sharing cable modem access but with the added benefit of file & printer sharing. I setup TCP/IP to obtain an address automatically and use NetBeui for local traffic. this has always worked in the past but I’ve found WinME somehow corrupts the NetBeui protocol and the network goes down after some time (1 – 3 weeks). If I remove and re-install NetBeui on the WinME machine(s) the network is re-established.the Win98 boxes don’t require this. Any ideas?
