I don't think there is a decent NETBEUI driver for Linux. i've seen  
an experimental one but that was for the 2.4 kernel and hasnt been  
updated since.

Also, Samba would have to be patched to allow its nmbd daemon to talk  
NETBEUI and, since netbeui is complex, and basically pointless in a  
modern network environment, nobody has bothered to work on this, it  
seems.

Whats the problem you are having with TCP/IP?
