No, Samba does not include NetBeui support. Samba is a _Netbios_ over TCP/IP ipmlementation. It will not work over IPX and it will not work over NetBeui (if ever someone writes a driver for this) because a large portion of the Samba would have to be rewritten for this to work. Better to just install TCP/IP on your Windows boxes than to go through all the work to get NetBeui working on Linux + Samba.

No. Your Windows boxes have TCP/IP support. That is what they are using to talk to your Linux box.
