Multiple Network Example

In the following example, the user has installed two Windows 95 network clients (Client for Microsoft Networks and Client for NetWare Networks) and also has installed Banyan VINES support using a WinNet16 driver.

Banyan VINES uses the StreetTalk™ syntax (file service@group@organization) to specify server names. In trying to resolve the request to connect to Docs@Marketing@Corp from a network drive connection dialog box in Windows 95, the multiple provider router submits the request to all installed network providers. WINNET16.DLL receives the call and passes it on to VINES.DRV, which submits the drive connection request to the Banyan real-mode networking software through VVINESD.386.

This example shows a network drive connection request with multiple networks installed.
