Are the others trying to access it from the LAN or over the Internet. Just remember to clarify how you are connecting to the server or what not because connecting on a LAN and connecting on the Internet are a bit different.

you only use netBEUI if you add it to your protocol. I think by default you are just using tcp/ip as your LAN connection.

Check your LAN properties. It will show M$ Client, File/Printer Sharing, and tcp/ip. Hit install --> add protocol --> there should be a list of protocols that you can add, and one is netBEUI. so its not on by default. The main reason is it only works with Microsoft computers and I think it is pretty insecure as well. I dont mess with it so I dont know much about it.

I guess what i was trying to find out Mi Lo Fu is how are your friends connecting to the server, because you said you are not able to, so we ruled that out, but are the others going over the net as well?

You shouldnt have to enable netBEUI for file and printer sharing. netBEUI is used the way tcp/ip is (they are not the same, but you would use it to connect to other computers like you do with tcp/ip)
You might have netBIOS enabled, which works on LANs, but not over the internet.

Here is a little ditty I grabbed off the net:

"Because NetBIOS does not contain a mechanism for routing data outside its LAN, applications communicating on a segmented network (often called an enterprise network) or WAN (Wide Area Network -- the Internet is a WAN) must use a "transport protocol" such as IPX or TCP/IP.

The IPX (Internetwork Packet eXchange) protocol, enabled by default on Win/NT machines, is comparable in function to IP. IPX establishes the format of network data packets and like TCP/IP, can serve to implement NetBIOS over a larger network.

NetBIOS is typically paired with a protocol called NETBEUI (Netbios Extended User Interface), an extension of NetBIOS which also serves to implement NetBIOS over a WAN."
