No! NETBUEI doesn't need to be installed!  I should know, as I have 5
Win98 and a couple Win95 boxes hung off my network.  The Netbios tab shows
"[x] I want to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" check marked and greyed out
when only IP is installed.  NetBIOS is automatically installed when you
install TCP/IP as the only protocol under windows.  As far as I can
recall, this worked this way under WFWG3.11, Win95 and Win98. Adding
NETBUEI adds nothing but additional overhead.
