How do I force Windows XP to use NetBEUI for File and Printer Sharing?
Step 1: Go to your Desktop and right-click on Network Places and choose Properties. Step 2: Click Advanced on the tool-bar and choose Advanced Settings. Step 3: Choose the Adapter that you want to change the settings on. Step 4: Click the check-box to clear it by NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in both the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and Client for Microsoft Networks. Your system will now only use NetBEUI for File and Printer Sharing.
