From: Andy Medina on 8 Mar 2010 19:14 For question 1: Open the Network Connections Control Panel applet (Control Panel - Network Connections) and under the Advanced menu item is Advanced Settings. That will open the window you are looking for.

I have seen the screen in the past (I believe on XP home) but mine now only has 3 Netbios add scenarios. I was wondering if after I installed Netbuei the bindings window would then be visable ?
From: Andy Medina on 8 Mar 2010 23:29 Which of the following is true? a) there is no "Advance" menu item in the Network Connections window. b) there is no "Advanced Settings" item under the Advance menu item. c) there is no "Adapter and Bindings" tab in the Advance Settings window. d) there is a "Adapter and Bindings" tab but nothing is listed. Is there a "Provider Order" tab in the Advance Settings window?

I don't know if I am allowed to post jpg attachments which I could do if I knew it was acceptable to do so. But there could be quite a few of them to expound everything. But as brief as possible this is the explained scenario: ControlPanel->NetworkConnections then right click on desired connection and choose properties, brings up a screen showing two tabs General and Advanced. I will tell you about the General tab first since I believe it expands to the area of question, (I will skip this particular Advanced tab till later) If you look at the General tab window you see in the first list box window my Network Adapter listing with a Configure button beside it. If you click the Configure button it basically covers driver installation or uninstalling etc. So back out of Configure back to the same said General Tab then if you look down the second list box window it has all of your protocols and file & print sharing services that are installed. If you highlite the tcp/ip protocol and click properties then you see a window with a General tab and a Alternate Config tab, Down at the bottom (of the General tab window) there is an Advanced button, if you click that you see an area that I believe is pertinant to this discussion. It has 4 tabs, IP Settings, DNS, WINS, and Options. If you click the WINS tab you see a window with a top list box where you can add WINS addresses, Below that you can check ENABLE LMHOSTs options. And below that is 3 options, 1. Default use Netbios from DHCP server 2. Enable Netbios over tcp/ip 3. Disable Netbios over tcp/ip There are no bindings window to be found in "ANY" of the expanded windows stemming from the original NetworkConnections properties General tab. So then if you look at the original NetworkConnections properties Advanced tab (skipped over above) then you see a windows firewall window with one Settings button. So clicking on the Settings button you see the windows Firewall window with a General tab, an Exceptions tab and an Advanced tab. Expanding out "all" of these none of them bring up "any" bindings window.

However, you are looking in the wrong place. For reference, here is how you get to the screen in question, although as David Lipman and Andy Medina say, you shouldn't use NetBEUI. 1. Open Network Connections 2. In the Menu bar (the one that has File, Edit, View, etc.), click "Advanced." 3. In the drop-down menu under "Advanced," click "Advanced Settings." 4. The "Advanced Settings" dialog should open. It has two tabs, "Adapters and Bindings" and "Provider Order." -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/40th/index.html |
