Netbeui and IP address

[Tuz76]

Hi I just wanted to double check.

On my Server Machine using ICS (winxp), I have 2 NICS. I decided to use Netbeui to see my client machine (win98).

ON the Client NIC, Should I specify an IP address or leave it on obtain. IS it faster if its specified.?

I originally had 192.168.0.1 as the IP in my XP server LAN NIC but once I enabled ICS, it apparently changed some settings.

Help me out here plz?

:/

Leave it to obtain. The host machine will give it an IP. 192.168.0.1 is the IP that ICS will automatically give the host machine.
