Home Networking with Microsoft Windows 2000

To the writer of the tutorial "Configuring Windows 2000 and XP"

Thank you very much for the tutorial it was very helpful. I had a network connection before with two machines, one running win2k and the other XP Pro. Unfortunately I lost it because I end up reformatting one of them.

Your article is very similar to the paper that I found at the Microsoft website and they confirm the fact that Windows XP does not have the NETBEUI Protocol files and they do tell you to copy them from the Win XP CD into the root directory. The only thing that you forgot in your tutorial was the fact that the INF folder in the root directory is a hidden folder and the user has to make it visible to copy the NETBEUI.INF file to it. Other then that, I follow your direction and my two computers are talking to each other.

Thank you again for your tutorial.
