NetBEUI is NOT included in XP, and it is included with Win2K only for backwards compatibility. Unless you are running a program that depends upon NetBEUI you have no use for it anyways. Browse the network through the 'network neighborhood'/'my network places', or by using the UNC Name (e.g. \\ComputerName\) in the address bar of windows explorer.

I'd recommend using TCP/IP instead of NetBEUI but if you really want it, you can install NetBEUI. Here's a couple of links that will tell you the hows. (These links were taken from http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Q_20290694.html)
