how to manipulate Network bindings via INF

NTDEV
1

Hello,

I need to write installation for a network driver, after installation, like to
diable the bindings from some protocol to the driver. How can I do that via INF or other method?

TIA

If you get an answer can you forward it to me?

I did this a few years ago, when I worked for someone else and I don’t have the sources any more.
I remember that a entry had to be made in each protocols’ registry, telling that protocol not to bind with the specified MAC driver.

I don’t know how to disable all possible bindings, but it is
possible to disable protocol bindings for known protocols.
I found this method from examining how the dial up network
adapters prevent certain protocols from binding to them

There is an undocumented registry entry you can add. I have
included the registry info from our virtual adapter below. The
entry which disables the protocol bindings is the “block” entry
(value 1). For our virtual adapter, I disabled all the common
protocols except TCP/IP.

Hope this helps,
Mike
