I mean IPx/SPX, Netbeui or TCP/IP are very popular for LAN networking using Windoz. What are the options using Linux? The only one I know is TCP/IP but then again I'm no expert. 😉
Thx
 
It'll talk NetBEUI (well, SMB actually) via SAMBA as well. A few others thangs like X.25, bridging, 802.2 (X.25 over ethernet), etc.
 
Why would you want to use anything except TCP/IP?!?! IPX/SPX, netbeui, appletalk, etc. are going the way of the dinosaur.

I'm pretty sure that Novell isn't developing IPX/SPX much anymore and is focusing on TCP/IP for their stuff. I'm know that Apple is doing the same with Appletalk.

However MS and NetBEUI is a different story. I haven't heard any plans that they're thinking about scapping that...yet. 🙂
 
Damaged, Samba doesn't speak NetBIOS (that is plain SMB on the wire). It speaks SMB over TCP/IP.

There was a project to enable Samba speak NetBIOS but as nothing has been heard of it so it must have died...
 
That's what I said: "It'll talk NetBEUI (well, SMB actually)." 🙂

I guess I threw the NetBEUI part in there so that a newbie might relate better to it is all.
