[ale] XP and Samba

[Calvin Harrigan]

I don't think this is true,  I've implemented several networks with only 
TCP/IP in multiOS configurations before.  I currently have a small network at 
home that has 2K, Linux, and 98 using only tcp/ip.  Might have changed with 
XP but netbios can be implemented over tcp/ip ever if not always too 
reliably...
