Client for Microsoft Networks

The Client for Microsoft Networks component allows a computer to access resources on a Microsoft network.

This component is installed and enabled by default for all VPN connections. However, this component needs to be enabled for PPPoE connections. You should not need to configure the component unless you are running software from The Open Group, such as Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) server or client kits. If you are, contact your system administrator for the correct DCE Cell Directory Service network address.

The Client for Microsoft Networks component is the equivalent of the Workstation service in Windows NT 4.0.
