Network Woes

Just a guess, but if you are using NetBeui on your server and the clients are running WinXP (you didn't say what you had), then there is an issue because XP no longer installs NetBeui. You have to go to the XP disk and follow the instructions to install it...

hjackson's symptoms sounded like what happened to me the first time I had a WinXP machine on my home network, which uses NetBeui. So I figured that I would throw out the idea...


Like you said, a simple firewall prevents this attack. So that's not much of an issue to me. If someone can get past my firewall, I'm in alot of trouble anyway.


NetBeui is easiest way I know of to share files on Windows based systems. I am far from a network expert, but I don't know of any other simple way besides running a DNS server to do this.


If you know of a better way that is not too much of a hassle, please let me know and I'll implement it immediately.
