I checked my Win2K box and if you go to Network properties it should list
client for MS Networks, File and Print Sharing and Internet protocol
(TCP/IP)...below should be an install button which will allow you to select
protocol and then it will list NetBEUI Protocol....just select it and click
OK and you might be prompted for your Win2K CD.
Hope this helps,
