[ale] XP and Samba

But why should you have to enable a separate protocol from TCP/IP for 
that to work?  NetBEUI really isn't supposed to be used in anything more 
than a one-office arrangement and, in this day and age when Internet 
access is pretty much ubiquitous and therefore a TCP/IP requirement 
exists, there's really no need for NetBEUI anymore at all (for one 
thing, it's not a routable protocol).
