Description
Specifies whether NetBIOS connections to this computer are restricted to a particular adapter. When the redirector on a multihomed computer calls another computer name, it places calls on all NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) transports (protocol-adapter combinations) to which it is bound. Each transport independently attempts to reach the target name. Setting the value of this entry to 1 limits each transport to connecting to other computers that are reachable via its own adapter, preventing crossover traffic.
This entry is ignored if CachePerAdapterEnabled is absent from the registry or if it is present and its value is zero.
Activation Method
You must restart the computer for changes to take effect.
Note
- This entry does not exist by default, and you must add it to the registry and set the value to 1 if you want to restrict NetBIOS connections to a specific interface. You can add this entry to the registry and set its value by using the registry editor Regedit.exe.
