NetBEUI for VPNs on Windows XP Pro

[Doug]

I recently upgraded from Win 2000 to Win XP Pro and
quickly discovered that my existing VPN using NetBEUI
protocol is not supported on XP.

Is there any way to install NetBEUI for VPN connections
on XP Pro OR is there another work around to get the VPN
running again.

thanks!

I don't know of one. I'm not sure whether any third-party VPN solution for
XP includes support for NetBEUI--I wouldn't expect it.

The best solution is to fix the other end of the VPN.

Why is NetBEUI the only way to make your connection work?

There is no way to enable NetBEUI for RAS connections in Windows XP
(by design)...
