Hey Experts,

I am trying to setup a NetBios system on my pair
of boxes - Box1 (Win2K) and NetBook (Win7).

I visited the 'Local Area Connection 2' in Network
and Dialup Connections on Box1.
Opening the 'Local Area Connection 2' and clicking
the General tab I find
'NWLink NetBios' and select it. Then I click the
Install button and I get a small
window with choices of Client, Service and Protocol.

Still on Box1 I click Client and see the message
"A client provides access to computers and files
on the network you are connecting to." That
seemed like the Box1. I click Add and then get the
message "Windows is unable to find any
drivers....." I found the file NetBios.SY_ on
my original Win2K CD and I guess the .SY_ means
it's compressed. Clicking or doubleclicking did
not decompress. I believe I am getting rusty ;-)

Then I clicked Protocol and all that was there was
Apple Talk Protocol and DLC Protocol.
For Service all that was available was QoS Packet
Scheduler and SAP Agent.

Now I gotta rest. Can anyone finish this? :-)

TIA

And the freeware question was what (to remain on-topic to THIS
newsgroup)? There exist newsgroups to ask networking questions.

NetBios IS free. Want a free copy?

Hi Y :-)

I agree with your comment.

It seems to me that the MS Windows groups are rapidly thinning out and
disappearing. If you can, tell me the names of active groups on
networking that are still flourishing.

Unfortunately my computer is tied up right now with something intensive so I
can not get you a URL. If you go to www.microsoft.com and do a search for
"Answers" you will find forums devoted to network issues. If you look
around you find the area you need to get the answers you are looking for.
