machine:

      TCP/IP - > SOHOware 10/100 PCI Network Adapter

      Add button. Select Microsoft in the left pane,
      select NetBEUI in the right. Click OK to install
      the NetBEUI protocol.

      should see the NetBEUI protocol has been added
      to the list in the network component pane.
      From the Primary Network Login dropdown list
      choose Client for Microsoft Networks. Click OK.
