Right Problem while trying to activate NetBEUI

[Jens Fischer]

Hello

A new setup PC with Win2K Professional Workstation, in a
Workgroup (no Domain). TCP/IP works fine.
With the administrator account I tried to activate NetBEUI.
Then I received an error message: you have not enough
rights to do this action.

Has anyone a clue why I cannot enable NetBEUI?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks Jens
