Chris,

The Windows platform (including Windows 9x and NT/2000/XP) has its
networking infrastructure based upon TCP/IP, with NetBIOS Over TCP/IP
(NBT) used as an interface between TCP/IP and the various networking
applications.

Any properly configured installation of Windows will run just fine with
these components.

Beware of any advice, web pages or otherwise, that contains instructions
to install redundant and unnecessary components, such as IPX/SPX and
NetBEUI. Adding these extra components may serve as a workaround, but
will add needless complications that may cause problems in the future.

Beware of people suggesting you NOT try something. Any time help is offered,
my recommendation is you try it all to figure out what works. Only you can
determine that. No one else. None of the advice offered is harmful in
anyway.
