In this example:

00-00-1b-16-78-76 is the address of an NE3200 Ethernet card.

00-00-00-00-00-00, 52-41-53-48-00-01, and 52-41-53-48-00-04 are RAS addresses.

When attempting a connection to a remote computer over the network, the workstation service will use the following order:

NetBT (TCP/IP) over the NE3200

NwlinkNb (IPX) over the NE3200

NetBT over one of the RAS links

Nbf (NetBIOS) over two other remote access server links

Nbf over the NE3200

To change the order in which Windows 2000 attempts connections for the workstation service

  1. In Control Panel, double-click Network.
  2. Click Bindings.
  3. In "Show Bindings For," select "Workstation."
  4. Adjust the binding order with the arrows on the right.
