-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

- The Network Bindings dialog box in the Network section of Control
- Panel has several purposes:
-
- - It allows you to see how the various components (services,
- protocols, and network adapters) are bound together, which can be
- useful for diagnostic purposes.
-
- - It allows you to unbind certain network components from certain
- others. For example, suppose you want to use TCP/IP over an
- EtherLink II adapter connected to one network, and NBF over an IBM
- Token Ring card connected to another network. By default, all
- protocols are bound to all adapters. The Network Bindings dialog
- box allows you to customize your network topology by directly
- specifying which protocol binds to which network card.
-
- - It allows you to specify the order in which the workstation will
- talk to the transports to which it is bound. For more information
- on this use of the Network Bindings dialog box, query on the
- following words here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
