In one of your other articles you mentioned that it might sometimes be easier to connect computers on a small LAN using a networking protocol other than TCP/IP - you mentioned IPX and Netbeui. Great, so how do I do that?

•

TCP/IP is the protocol of the internet (in fact, the I stands for Internet),so anything you do on the internet requires that you use TCP/IP.

TCP/IP can be a little difficult to set up at times, though, because itrequires things like routers and subnets and DNS ... oh my! If all you want isa few machines on a small local area network, different protocols might beeasier to setup.

Protocols like IXP/SPX and Netbeui are less efficient, and even somewhatless secure, than TCP/IP, but on a small network that may simply not be anissue. Also, with TCP/IP being the predominant network protocol these days, notall applications, and not all networking hardware support other protocols.

But the good news is that for simply sharing files and printers across alocal area network, once installed, these protocols usually 'just work'.

Let's install IPX.

In Control Panel, open up NetworkConnections:

Right click on Local Area Connection, and click onProperties, and this dialog results:

Click on the Install... button, and this dialogappears:

Click on Protocol, and click Add.... Aftera few seconds, a dialog similar to this will appear:

Click on the NWLink IPX/SPX... protocol, and clickOK. The protocol will be installed.

Once you're done, you'll return to the Properties dialog, only this time thenew protocol will be listed:

Click on Close, and it's likely you'll then need to rebootyour machine for the installation to complete.

Now you'll note that Netbeui was not one of the options. That's becausetechnically Netbeui is no longer a supported protocol by Microsoft. However,they still include the drivers on the Windows XP CD-ROM. The process is similarto what we just did for IPX, but rather than walk through it again, an articlein the Microsoft Knowledgebase details How to installNetbeui on Windows XP.

Which protocol you'll actually want is somewhat vague, because it depends onwhat problem you're attempting to solve, and what your applications andnetworking equipment support. But do remember this: you will need TCP/IP totalk to anything on the internet. Fortunately, you can have more than oneprotocol installed at the same time.
