TCP/IP binding to NIC


It’s amazing how missing binding of TCP/IP to a network interface would not affect the connectivity or speed or even data transfer, but on the other hand it will play a big role in the process of joining a domain controller, it will start giving error messages about how the format of the specified network name is invalid, but still you get to authenticate to active directory, after viewing Microsoft TechNet to find more about this subject, I found the following article that describes in details the process of binding TCP/IP to NIC http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/3855.mspx?mfr=true
