Hi all,
I'm setting up a small 2 comp LAN with 1 NIC/comp. I'm using a
hardware router to share the Internet connection but as I need to open
up ports for various apps and am even considering using the DMZ
functionality to forward all unknown traffic to my main computer, I
don't want to leave Microsoft Networks and file and print sharing
bound to TCP/IP. I was planning to use IPX/SPX instead but Pratically
Networking seems to recommend NetBeui instead. Is there any particular
reason for this? I know that IPX/SPX was developed for by Novell for
use with Netware but I've always thought MS's implementation was fine
and even if it is being superceded but TCP/IP I always though it was
an okay protocol.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
P.S. Obviously I'll firewall any exposed comp as well...
