Microsoft has hidden it on the XP CD under > "\VALUEADD\MSFT\NET\NETBEUI". NetBEUI is a different transport than TCP/IP. DNS and VNC are both functions that rely on TCP/IP. Therefore NetBEUI and VNC have no relationship. The broadcast will still happen using the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" transport. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
