BeOS and Networking?

How does BeOS react to networking? Can it access a network of WinXP machines? What kind of network cards can it use?

Looks like I'm the only one answering BeOS questions.. :rolleyes:
BeOS uses TCP/IP protocol. The easiest way to mount networked Win-drives (IMHO) is to use cifsmount command from Terminal:

Usage for cifsmount
cifsmount //server/share mountpoint <password> <username> [options]

-I Server_IP_Address Specify the ip address of the server
you're contacting, handy if you dont have a DNS server.
If not specified, the server will be looked up via DNS.

-W Clients_Workgroup Specify which workgroup you're in.
If not specified, obtained from your network settings file
(usually /boot/home/config/settings/network).

-d Dump out info before attempting to mount the server

There's also a GUI for it, but I haven't tested it:
CIFS-Mounter (http://www.bebits.com/app/2831)

Most 3Com's cards and NE2000, RTL8139, DEC21142/43 chipset-based work. Old ISA cards may require setting IRQ & port manually, PCI cards should work straight out of the box.
