Unable to Bind Network Services to Protocols

ID: Q122871

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

Network Services are not available options on the Bindings sheet of network protocol properties. For example, when you click the Bindings tab in the properties for Microsoft NetBEUI protocol, there is no option for file and print sharing for Microsoft Networks (VSERVER). Or, when you click the Bindings tab in the properties for IPX/SPX-compatible protocol for Windows, there is no option for file and print sharing for NetWare Networks (NWSERVER).

CAUSE

In Windows 95, Network Services are dependent on, and bind to, the network redirector, not a protocol. This is necessary to enable the Plug and Play features of Windows 95.

RESOLUTION

To run Network Services on a network protocol, bind the protocol to the Network client that you want to use.
