Rick posted the link
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.
com:80/support/kb/articles/q301/0/41.asp&NoWebContent=1 which describes
that it lives in the ValuAdd folder as Nbf.sys & Netnbf.inf - so it
clearly isn't available as a dl from MS as it is a "value added" feature
on the "real" package.

That's one of those things you get from your friends because you
"should" be able to have it.

Interestingly, here's a post telling someone how to do it without
netbeui when they were asking for the files because of the same problem:

The fundamentals of his strategy are to prevent XP from getting the
network to conform to /it/ - and then he does it with netbios over
ipx/spx.  Cute.
