The technician must be aware of network
bindings and how they affect the networked computers. For example, to
run two different protocols on two different network adapters in the
server, network bindings must be manipulated. Also to optimize network
performance, change the order of bindings for the most efficient
operation. Transport protocols are assigned to run on specific network
adapters. When a protocol runs on a specific network adapter, the
protocol and adapter are bound to each other. Typically, the most
frequently used protocol is listed first in the protocol binding on
the NIC. The act of creating this association between protocols and
adapters is called binding. If the bindings are missing or incorrect,
the NIC will not function and therefore the user will not receive
network access.
