This is part of your problem. TCPBEUI can only talk to TCPBEUI, etc. You
can have both NETBEUI and TCPBEUI installed if you want. It depends on
your needs.

>Is this a transition?

Somewhat, if you call something that happened many years ago a transition.
A default Warp4 LAN networking install installs only NETBEUI. eCS has
tended to install both because TCPBEUI is what Windows now uses by
default, although NETBEUI can be installed for any version of WIndows.

Folks can get confused by LAN networking because the don't realize it's
not the same thing as TCP/IP networking.

The LAN stuff is somewhat complicated because there are a lot of options
that exist to support interoperability between hetrogeneous systems.
Turning on every avaiable option by default is not a viable option.

OK.
