Exactly what problem are you having? What was not working on the network
that caused you to try the NetBEUI "fix"?
There are several good reasons not to use this "fix" - for one, Windows can
encounter problems if you ever do repair the TCP/IP problem and then Windows
can't decide which network protocol to use. You get all sorts of strange
and interesting happenings in that case. Poor network performance, shares
that can be seen but not touched, and so on.
Another good reason is that the "fix" hasn't actually fixed anything so if
you ever install software that requires that TCP/IP works correctly it will
fail in a NetBEUI environment.
