Reconfiguring the Name Service for Windows 3.x/MS-DOS

When you install the Win32 SDK for Windows 3.x/MS-DOS, you specify a name-service provider. You can change the name-service provider you specified by editing the RPCREG.DAT configuration file, which contains the name-service-provider parameters and RPC protocol settings. Use a text editor to change name-service provider entries.

To reconfigure the Microsoft Locator name-service provider

Open the RPCREG.DAT file using a text editor.
RPCREG.DAT is in the root directory unless you specified a different path during the Setup program.
Set the following values for the registry entries:

Registry entry	Value
Software\Microsoft\RPC \NameService\Protocol	The protocol sequence for the protocol you are using. The default is ncacn_np.
Software\Microsoft\RPC\ NameService\NetworkAddress	The name of the computer running the Locator that is used by clients during name-service lookup operations. The default is the primary domain controller.
Software\Microsoft\RPC\ NameService\Endpoint	The name of the endpoint used by the name service. The default is \pipe\locator.

Save and close the file.
