Net Beui
(OP)
Hello,
I have heard that running Net Beui on a lan may cause conflicts. We are expirencing packet loss on the way to the router (LAN Network with simple switch router) and wonder if the Net Beui setting may be to blame. Any one have any ideas?

RE: Net Beui
You don't say how or where the packet loss was measured, but yes, NetBEUI is a very chatty protocol, and is a prime source of uneeded administartive traffic on a LAN.
It's simple to get rid of it, if your naming service is properly configured.
