Format error in bindings storage file

[Control Panel]

The file in which variable names are paired with essential information does not have the expected file format. The file, which typically has a filetype of .INF, may be corrupt. This usually occurs after a new network component has been installed. In some cases the hardware or installation procedure provided with the component is at fault.

First, reboot the computer, then choose Network from the Control Panel and choose Binding to redo the binding. If the problem continues, remove any recently installed network component, reboot, reinstall the component, and reboot again. If you still get this error, ask the administrator to edit the registry, removing the variable \Software\Microsoft\Ncpa\CurrentVersion\Bindfile; then choose Network from the Control Panel and choose Binding to redo the binding. You may need to contact the vendor of the network component to resolve the problem.

Format failed.

[Format]

The formatting of an NTFS partition could not be completed, possibly because of unsuccessful write operations due to bad sectors on the disk.

One of the library files needed to run this application is damaged. Please reinstall this application.

Contact your system administrator to reinstall the application.

One of your NetBIOS names is already registered on the remote network.

[Remote Access Service]

Networking architecture requires each computer on the network to be registered with a unique name. This rule applies to both the LAN and remote workstations. Because unique names are required, you cannot have both a Remote Access and a direct connection (such as Ethernet connector) to the same network. If you are evaluating Remote Access in such a situation, you need to unplug the network connector before attempting to connect through Remote Access.

Make sure your computer name is different from all other computer names on the network. To change your computer name, use the Network option in Control Panel. If the name is not your computer name, another computer may have registered a computer name matching your domain name, or you are running a NetBIOS application that has added a conflicting name. If the problem persists after changing the name, contact your system administrator.

rcp: setsockopt (SO_KEEPALIVE) name

[TCP/IP]

While sending a command to the remote host, the Rcp utility detected a failed Sockets library call. This may be because the remote host will not accept the command at all, in which case the Rcp utility quits execution. Or, it may be that the remote host has begun to accept the command, and the Sockets library call failed. In that case, the Rcp utility will display this message and continue trying to send the command.

If the Rcp utility quit, the remote host may be unavailable. For example, it may be shut down. Ask your network administrator to check the condition of the remote computer. If the Rcp utility continued executing, no direct user action is required.
