NBF is used by remote computers that need to connect to a computer running Windows 2000 Server. Because NBF dynamically allocates memory and is self-tuning, no configuration is required on the computer using the Routing and Remote Access service. To restrict the number of times a query is sent, change the WanNameQueryRetries entry by using the Registry Editor. (This entry is the WAN equivalent of the NameQueryRetries entry.)
Warning
Do not use a registry editor to edit the registry directly unless you have no alternative. The registry editors bypass the standard safeguards provided by administrative tools. These safeguards prevent you from entering conflicting settings or settings that are likely to degrade performance or damage your system. Editing the registry directly can have serious, unexpected consequences that can prevent the system from starting and require that you reinstall Windows 2000. To configure or customize Windows 2000, use the programs in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or Control Panel whenever possible.
