Chapter 11—Networking
• Windows 2000 Professional
• Windows NT 4.0 Workstation

Table 11.5 shows the basic configuration you’ll need to complete
for any client (accessing services on another PC) and server (sharing
services with other PCs) using these versions of Windows.
Table 11.5
Networking
Minimum Network Software for Peer-to-Peer
Item Client Server
Windows network client Yes No
NetBEUI protocol Yes Yes
File and print sharing for Microsoft Networks No Yes
NIC installed and bound to previous protocols and services Yes Yes
Workgroup identification (same for all PCs in workgroup) Yes Yes
Computer name (each PC needs a unique name) Yes Yes
Any system that will be used as both a client and a server must
have the components from both columns installed.
Depending on how you plan to use the computer, one or both of
the following might also need to be installed:
• If the computer is going to access a Novell NetWare
client/server network, the IPX/SPX protocol must also be
installed and configured.
• If the computer is going to be used to access the Internet or
any other TCP/IP-based network, the TCP/IP protocol must
also be installed.
Note that Windows 2000 and Windows Me do not install the
NetBEUI protocol by default. You must specify it when you set up
the network features of either version of Windows if you want to
use Direct Cable Connection or create a simple workgroup network.
Windows 2000 and Windows Me use TCP/IP as their default network
protocol.
Use the Network icon in the Windows Control Panel to choose
your network settings. You’ll need the following software to set up
the network:
• Operating system CDs, disks, or hard-disk image files
• NIC drivers
