NetBEUI not working?

I set up a file server on an XP machine and can share drives/folders no problem using TCP/IP protocol. However, I wanted to secure the sharing to the local LAN only, so I installed the NetBEUI protocol and bound it as the only protocol for sharing on the server, and both it and TCP/IP on one of my other rigs. As soon as I disable TCP/IP for sharing on the server I can't connect to it. I can ping it no problem.

Everything is going through a WRT54G under DHCP. The subnet masks and gateways are the same.

What am I doing wrong? Or can somebody recommend an alternate means of securing my shared folders from the internet?
