APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q181422

SYMPTOMS

If you add a network protocol more than once to a network adapter in the Network Properties dialog box during Setup, each instance of the network protocol may be listed in the "The following network components are installed" box. However, after Setup is complete, only one instance of each protocol may be bound to the network adapter. Each protocol may also be bound to the dial-up adapter, if present.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
