Default Protocols for all os's

mobri09

Does anyone know where i could find all the defualt protocols for windows 95,98,Nt,2000 and xp?

Well, really...it's TCP/IP. Which is honestly used by all network operating systems. After an install, you'll notice if a network card is installed, TCP/IP is the default.

I hope this helps

I agree.

95 - NetBEUI, Client for Microsoft Networks(OSR2 might do TCP/IP)
98/ME - NetBEUI, TCP/IP, Client for Microsoft Networks
NT/2000 - NetBEUI, TCP/IP, Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
XP - TCP/IP, Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks

I am 90% sure that the above is accurate as to the typical default network protocols that are installed. Any other ones you have to manually add.

Forget the 'Default' protocols ... they are totally irrelevant.

Remember ....

TCP/IP This is the #1 network protcol and is usable with Win OS, MAC OS, *nix and Novell. If you really want to consider 'default' protocols you should consider how far back you want to go ... Me, I only go back as far as '98.

'98 - TCP/IP
ME - TCP/IP
W2k - TCP/IP
XP - TCP/IP
Mac OS - TCP/IP
'nix - TCP/IP
Novell 5 and lower - IPX/SPX
Novell 6 and above - TCP/IP

As a general rule most networks will be set up TCP/IP and if with Novell TCP/IP and IPX/SPX.

Novell 3,4,5 can use IPX/SPX(3 has no choice)
Novell 4 starts support for TCP/IP through encapsulation
Novell 5 has native support for TCP/IP. IPX/SPX supported for backwards compatibility.

Novell 3.12 and above use 802.2 for frames. Previous versions used 802.3

Mac OS - AppleTalk, MacOS X has native support for TCP/IP because its based on *nix. There are questions on AppleTalk.

Also, when I took the test last Wed. I had more than one question that specifically tested the default protocols installed.

Are you sure netbeui came defualt on windows nt, 2000 and 98? Because i can't remember that?

With Win98 it really depends on the NIC you install - some load a full set of IPX/SPX - NetBEUI and TCP/IP and other just load TCP/IP. I think earlier NICs will load NetBEUI as default and maybe TCP/IP too. I know that none of the 10meg cards here load NetBEUI only. I would think W2000 is much the same. NT4 - possibly NetBEUI and TCP/IP.

If by Default, you mean what does the Network+ exam considered the default.

Windows - NetBeui if you have a nonroutable network (1 site, no internet). If you have a routbale network or want an internet connection it is TCP/IP

Unix/Linux - TCP/IP

NetWare - IPX/SPX
