How do I
change the Binding Order in Windows
2000?
To change
the Binding Order in Windows 2000:
-
Start
/ Settings / Control Panel.
-
Double-click Network and Dial-up
Connections.
-
On the
Advanced menu, press Advanced
Settings.
-
Select
the adapter whose Binding Order you
wish to change in the Connections
box.
-
Use
the arrows on the right side of the
Binding for <Adapter Name> to order
the protocols.
Notice
how NWLink (IPX/SPX compatible
protocol) places itself on top of
the binding order! This something
you don't want to keep if you're on
a strictly Windows 2000 network with
some occasional NetWare access.
-
You
can also disable specific protocols.
For example, if you have 2 NICs and
you don't need NWLink bound to the
File and Print Service you can
un-check the check box next to that
protocol under the specific service.
Note
that when you do so, the File and
Print Sharing (and the Client for
Microsoft Networks) services will
have a gray check-box on the NIC's
properties box.
This
is to indicate that the specific
service has some un-bound protocols.
If all protocols are bound to the
service, the gray check-box
disappears.
-
Press
OK.
-
If you
are prompted to restart, press Yes.
