Where is NetBEUI?

Unfortunately, Microsoft in their seemingly infinite wisdom has decided to remove NetBEUI from the standard installation routines. They want us all to move over to TCP/IP File and Printer Sharing. But we all know that TCP/IP File and Printer Sharing is not that all secure. Luckily for us, NetBEUI is not dead, it is lurking on the Windows XP install CD. Step 1: Put your Windows XP install CD into your CD drive. Step 2: Browse to Valueadd\MSFT\Net\NetBEUI. Step 3: Copy Nbf.sys to (WINDOWS FOLDER)\System32\Drivers Step 4: Then copy Netnbf.inf to (WINDOWS FOLDER)\Inf (note, this folder is hidden). Step 5: Go to your Desktop, right-click on Network Places and choose Properties. Step 6: Right-click on the adapter you want to add NetBEUI to, and then choose Properties. Step 7: On the General tab, click Install. Click Protocol, and then click Add. Step 7: Click to select NetBEUI Protocol from the list and then click OK. You may have to restart your computer.
