261462 2004-08-14 01:55:00 Hey there i've got a small home network between two PC's(one with ICS Windows 2000 and the other WINXP pro) on a straight male to male network cable, the WINXP pro can't access any files on the WIN2K pc and visa-versa but the WINXP pro pc can access the internet though the WIN2K, does this have anything to do with the NetBEUI protocol because the WINXP pro pc was recently upgraded from a WIN2K one, before i upgraded the network worked fine, but now there's no NetBEUI protocol on the WINXP pro pc, do i need it on any of them now?? if i do how do i set it up?? PLEASE HELP ME????? Codex (3761)
261463 2004-08-14 02:01:00 NetBEUI is definitely not needed for networking WinXP 'puters. Not sure about Win2000, though.

There are plenty of help pages on the Net - just do a Google search if PF1'ers don't come to your rescue ASAP.

i find ipx/spx quicker and almost as easy to set up as netbeui. however your network should work ok over tcp/ip, just go through the settings and make sure all firewalls are off or setup to allow the network.
