Where are the "Bindings" in XP?

We have 4 home computers on a LAN behind a Linksys router. I want to share
files between 2 (and ONLY 2). One uses W98SE and the other has XP Home. I
am using NetBEUI to connect these 2. Everything is installed, and seems to
be working correctly.

Question: Where are the "Bindings" settings in XP? I want to be sure that
File & Print sharing is not bound to TCP/IP. It is very straightforward in
W98 - check or uncheck the box. In XP however, The "properties" button for
file & print sharing grayed out, so no settings are available. The check
box for f & p sharing is also gray, with a check, indicating partial
functionality I would assume.

The check box for "Internet Protocol NetBEUI" is white with a check, but
again, the properties button is grayed out.

I can select properties for "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" but there are no
bindings selections in the options.

I have NetBios over TCP/IP disabled.

How can I be sure that f & p sharing is not bound to TCP/IP?
 
Never would have found it!

Thanks, Ron!
