NutFlush 0 Posted April 3, 2002 I have a client that uses a software package which requires NetBEUI to be the default protocol. Installing NetBEUI was no problem, but in XP there no longer exists an option for setting a network protocol as the default. (He previously used a variety of 9x os's which had this option.) I called the software company's tech support and they know the work-around to make it work, but they won't tell me how to do it until my client forks up $200. Anybody out there have any ideas? (Besides telling the client to change software packages - he won't.) Thanks, Steve Share this post Link to post

NutFlush 0 Posted April 3, 2002 Clutch - thanks for the reply. I probably shouldn't have mentioned NetBEUI, as I don't think it's a problem with that protocol specifically. I have NetBEUI installed and it is functional. The problem is that the software in question requires the protocol to be set as the "default" protocol (an option in 9x/ME that is missing in XP) Thanks again for any ideas, Steve Quote: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q301041 Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted April 3, 2002 If you go to your network properties (where you see your network adapters listed), select Advanced and then Advanced Settings. You can then adjust the binding order of the protocols. See if that works out for you. Share this post Link to post
NutFlush 0 Posted April 3, 2002 Thanks, I moved Netbeui to the top of the binding order and that didn't help. I'm not sure what setting a protocol as the "default" protocol actually did in 9x/ME - if I knew that it might help figure out a workaround. I haven't found any info in MS knowledgebase.

clutch 1 Posted April 3, 2002 I don't have anything else to offer at the moment, and I can barely remember anything in 9x anymore . Maybe somebody else has a good idea for you. Share this post Link to post
XtasyJoker 0 Posted October 26, 2004 goto network connections in the cnotrol panel then in the advanced menu choose bindings tab and select the connection then set netbeui has the first position in both settings then uncheck the tcp/ip binding Share this post Link to post
