SUMMARY
=======

Source routing in NetBEUI is only supported if the network interface card (NIC)
is Token Ring. In a NetBIOS Frames (NBF) FDDI Frame, the source routing
information bit is not set and the registry parameters associated with source
routing (QueryWithoutSourceRouting and so forth) are ignored.


MORE INFORMATION
================

Transparent source routing or transparent bridging should be used with the
NetBEUI protocol and FDDI NIC in a WAN environment.
