TITLE   :INF: Purpose of Network Bindings Dialog Box

The information in this article applies to:

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:
