NET.CFG Options Reference

Protocol IPX Option

BIND LAN_driver_name [#number]

Usually a protocol binds to the first LAN driver it finds. This parameter forces the protocol to bind to the LAN driver you specify.

You are informed of the board number you are binding to when the LAN driver is loading.

Syntax

bind LAN_driver_name [#number]

 

Replace LAN_driver_name with the name of the

 

LAN driver you want the protocol to bind to.

 

Replace number with the occurrence of the LAN

 

driver you are loading. If you are binding only

 

one LAN driver, you do not need to set this value.

 

If you want to bind multiple LAN drivers, specify

 

the BIND parameter multiple times, each on a

 

different line in the NET.CFG file.

 

 

Default

None

 

 

Example

To bind protocol IPXODI to your NE2000 LAN driver,

 

you would place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

protocol ipx

 

bind ne2000

 

To bind protocol IPXODI to the second and third

 

logical LAN drivers, you would place the following

 

lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

protocol ipx

 

bind ne2000 #2, #3

 

 

NOTE:Some protocols do not support binding to multiple LAN drivers. Refer to the protocol’s documentation for binding information.

INT64 [on off]
