Using NETSH to add a new protocol, client, or service.

[Mark K Vallevand]

I have a network protocol that I want added to the network stack for certain
NICs. I can do this using the network configuration GUI. I can't find a
way to do this using NETSH.

Anyone know how to use NETSH to add a protocol, client or service?

Is there more appropriate place to ask? Yes, this is XPe work. I really
need to do this automatically because my machine is headless and tweeking
network settings while using remote desktop is a bit risky, but not
impossible. I have a prototype machine that does have a local kb/monitor,
so I can setup some networking stuff, but its not exactly the same hardware
a the real machine.

I have the source for the network protocol driver and it's configuration GUI
plug-in. But, I'm not making too many changes to it yet. It looks like
there is a way to create plug-ins for NETSH, too. Anyone have information
on that?

review this thread on how to install Netbeui from a custom component
for example, using snetcfg.exe.

snetcfg is used during FBA to install all prootcols and some net
services to the net adapters:

Great. Wonderful. This is exactly what I needed.

My only question is the same as Joerg. I have 3 adapters and all three have
the new protocol. How do I remove the binding to one of them?

in that case you're probably going have to do the original solution you
were thinking of and that's netsh. i've never tried binding to just a
single nic, and when the adapter guid is being created *during* setup,
i would think you'd have to know this value so you can target a
specific adapter. This is also probably the reason networking is
configured online instead of offline in TD.

Sorry Mark. Here's some netsh help:

Hi Mark,

Use bindview sample from DDK.

Best regards,

Hey, and right next to this is the source for snetcfg.exe. Wonderful.
