I am wondering if SAMBA can go over NetBEUI yet? I realize I'll probablyMicrosoft themselves have deprecated the NETBEUI protocol, and Windows XP no longer includes support for this protocol. Additionally, NETBEUI has never been a routable protocol, and is only suitable to small LAN's. That is why Microsoft and other NETBIOS implementations went away from NETBEUI to NETBIOS over TCP/IP and NETBIOS over IPX.
have to re-compile my kernel (easy enough), but what if anything has to be
done on the SAMBA side?
I am not telling you someone out there has not developed a NETBEUI protocol stack that will run on Linux (I am assuming you are running Linux). But as a long time network administrator and programmer myself, I cannot imagine WHY anyone would waste time doing so at this point in time. Doing so would only have made sense quite a few years ago (early to mid 1990's!)....
Samba itself is not really where the NETBEUI protocol would have to be implemented... someone jump in and tell me if I am mistaken....
