LAN protocols needed ???

Recommended Posts

What are the original Protocols listed under a LAN connection for Win2K???

 

In an attempt in getting a LAN working i installed all the protocols, i just want to remove all those which aren't needed.

 

I use the LAN for:

Sharing a printer

Sharing files & Drives

netsend

Internet Connection Sharing

and Langames, Age2 & Unreal Tournament. laugh

 

ISA, coaxle NIC W2K SP3.

 

Thanks.

Default for Win2k:

 

Client for MS Networks

TCP/IP

File & Printer Sharing

 

That's all you should need. Depending on your firewall/router, if applicable, you *may* have to open up some ports, however.

As a bare minimum, you will need:

  • [*]Client for Microsoft Networks

[*]File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks

[*]TCP/IP

[/list:u]You may also need IPX/SPX, depending on the games you are playing. I don't think you need it for either of the games you listed.

I would strongly recommend that you upgrade your network... It's not very expensive to set up a 100 mbit LAN...

I seriosly need to UG pretty much everything, PII 400 and a K6 333.

The AMD K6 333mhz is a mini tower, so alas only two PCI slots, both used for TNT2 32mb & other Sound Card. So i'm stuck with ISA on that one anyway.

Though there is definatley a place and time for upgrading, "My Place" and "Future Time" currently the situation smile
