I have a question about Connect to a Windows XP or 2000 system with a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network:

I have 2 computers configured in a network. The network does the job very wel cofigured as : Computer 1 OS = Windows 98 Se With a router-gatewy DLINK-701 software for the DLINK insalled on this computer. Computer 2 OS = Windows XP Home edition and a hub of course With this configuration 1- internet sharing is O.K = 1 IPadress (same) 2- Network between the 2 computers is O.K. But... as I would like to test some programs via internet connection I am paying now my provider for 2 IPadresses I changed my configuration as : Computer 1 OS = Windows 98 Se DLINK-701 hardware and software removed Computer 2 OS = Windows XP Home edition and a hub With these configuration= 1- internet connection is OK on both computers with a different IPadress. 2- netwerk dont work at all. My provider told me to configure the LAN network with NetBeui or IPX/SPX. But : How do I configure WINXP in NetBeui or IPX/SPX ??? I cannot find these protocols in WINXP My goal is to have the 2 computers in a network and to access the internet from each computer with a different IPadress. with or without the router-gateway DLINK-701. somebody can help ? Thanks for the answer André on7gq@pandora.be

Andre:  MS has removed support for the NetBEUI protocol from XP. 

it is best if all of your computers have the exact same list of network protocols; 
this means that a mixed 98/XP network should have the NetBEUI protocol removed from 
the 98 computers.

you can rely on TCP/IP for your network, but if you wish, add the NWLink IPX/SPX 
protocol to all of your computers by viewing the network properties on each computer;
click Add or Install, select Protocols, select NWLink IPX/SPX.

your configuration will have file sharing blocked by design by the XP computer for 
security reasons; 
if you know that your network internet connections have adequate firewall protection; 
you can try to disable the ICF in XP.

it is essential that you have a firewall of some type in place. 
for a DSL connection with multiple IP addresses and a router; configure packet filtering 
in your router.
block TCP/UDP ports 137-139 and 445.
your ISP will help you do this.

for a cable connection with multiple IP addresses and no hardware firewall device 
in place; you will be unable to share files on your LAN.
