Okies, this is a FAQ, but worth restating -- NETBEUI is a _protocol_, much
like TCP/IP and IPX/SPX. NetBIOS is a _programming interface_. In
Windows, there are NetBIOS interfaces for NETBEUI, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX.
SMB uses the NetBIOS interface. In Windows, you can use SMB over TCP/IP,
NETBEUI, or IPX/SPX. In Linux, Samba only communicates using NetBIOS over
TCP/IP. The other protocols suck anyway, so it's no big loss.
Enjoy.
