Is TCP/IP really essential for networking? Join David Bombal as he resurrects forgotten protocols from the pre-IP era (like NetBEUI and IPX/SPX) to create a working Windows 95/98/11 network with no TCP/IP stack installed. You’ll see how vintage and modern systems can talk, how IPv6-only setups behave in the wild, and why certain websites still require IPv4. Perfect for tech enthusiasts, network engineers, or anyone curious about the deeper layers of the internet.

Watch the full demo to understand:
• How NetBEUI and IPX/SPX still work today
• Running networks with only IPv6
• What breaks when IPv4 is gone
• How Ethernet and protocols interact without IP
