71489	2002-08-16 05:22:00	Help?? Can a computer with winXP home edition be networked with an old computer running win95. I noticed that NetBUEI protocol is not listed in winXp. Is this a factor??	jipsees (1522)
71490	2002-08-16 05:25:00	I network a '95 with XP. No, its not an issue for me, but what do you want to do over the network? I only run TCP/IP. Have 3 XP pc's, 1 W95 pc, laser printer (printserver module) and ADSL router. All runs sweet.	godfather (25)
71491	2002-08-16 06:27:00	urgh I know i'm gonna be having a few problems when i can be bothered networking my 2 '98 machines and a XP home one, cos the '98 ones are quite old and last time i stuck a network card in one it totally screwed the puter, so that i had to format :( oh well, you don't get anywhere in life without risk and effort ;) - David	DangerousDave (697)

You have to log into the W95 PC with a username and password set up in the XP PC (right click my computer - select manage - open users and groups and add a user for the W95PC If you have not set up the network to this point - pse advise progress	Marty2001 (421)

You can find netbeui in: "Whatever your CD Drive":\VALUEADD\MSFT\NET\NETBEUI * copy nbf.sys into the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ directory * copy netnbf.inf into the %SYSTEMROOT%\INF\ directory * open network connection properties and use "Install..." button to add NetBEUI protocol You will have to select folder options & select show all files to find everything as I think some of the files are hidden. I installed it & it works fine with '95 HTH	Stumped Badly (348)
