Sorry but there's just too much misinformation floating around in this 
thread!  NetBEUI provides a protocol stack in its own right, the API 
layer that is exposed is NetBIOS.  NetBIOS which is a programming API is 
available to use over other protocols such as a TCP/IP stack or IPX/SPX.  

File and print sharing utilises the SMB protocol also known as CIFS.

No, you'll be communicating using SMB by sending these packets by 
calling upon NetBIOS (which in fact is optional) over the TCP/IP stack!  
NetBEUI is doing nothing and doesn't need to be present whatsoever.
