Hi, Fred. I know what you mean: there's a lot of networking
information available, but much of it is fragmented, and much of it is
just plain wrong. I've seen more misinformation about networking than
about any other area of Windows -- so much that I've written a web
page about it:

Steve,

Thanks again!

I had one case where an existing network with WFW3.1 and WinNT4sp6 and ME
were networked. All had TCP/IP and NetBEUI. Added an XP Home machine. XP
couldn't see the network until NetBEUI was added.... ?

In view of that experience, it seems like an expedient to just add NetBEUI.
Because I couldn't make it work until I did that. So, now what am I
motivated to do in the field in order to save on-site time ..... ?

Or, how might I have avoided that situation without adding NetBEUI to the XP
macine?

By your comments, I'm motivated to try using just TCP/IP .....

Fred
