Put your Windows XP cd into your cd drive and cancel any
attempt to install anything when the cd spins up. Click
the start menu and go to search. Search your Windows XP
cd for the following files-
Search for:
1) nbf.sys
2) netnbf.inf
(copy these files to the desktop for ease when you find
them)
Then Move them from your desktop to these locations:
1) nbf.sys goes to %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\
directory
2) netnbf.inf goes to C:\WINDOWS\INF\ directory
(The "INF" directory may be hidden so change your folder
view options to see it.)
Now go to install the protocol by right-clicking on "My
Network Places" and getting properties. Then right-click
on your active network connection and getting
properties...install...
Hope it helps.....tom
