What are the original Protocols listed under a LAN connection for Win2K???

In an attempt in getting a LAN working i installed all the protocols, i just want to remove all those which aren't needed.

I use the LAN for:
Sharing a printer
Sharing files & Drives
netsend
Internet Connection Sharing
and Langames, Age2 & Unreal Tournament. laugh

ISA, coaxle NIC W2K SP3.

Thanks.

Default for Win2k:

Client for MS Networks
TCP/IP
File & Printer Sharing

That's all you should need. Depending on your firewall/router, if applicable, you *may* have to open up some ports, however.

As a bare minimum, you will need:
[list][*]Client for Microsoft Networks
[*]File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks
[*]TCP/IP
[/list:u]You may also need IPX/SPX, depending on the games you are playing. I don't think you need it for either of the games you listed.

I would strongly recommend that you upgrade your network... It's not very expensive to set up a 100 mbit LAN...

I seriosly need to UG pretty much everything, PII 400 and a K6 333.

The AMD K6 333mhz is a mini tower, so alas only two PCI slots, both used for TNT2 32mb & other Sound Card. So i'm stuck with ISA on that one anyway.

Though there is definatley a place and time for upgrading, "My Place" and "Future Time" currently the situation smile
