For example, the complete name for a User object might be
MRICHARD.ACCOUNTING.HEWLETT-PACKARD US
However, only the common name of the User object MRICHARD can be
seen by bindery-based clients and servers when using bindery services.
Therefore, the object’s common name must match bindery object naming
rules.

Binding and unbinding
The process of assigning a communication protocol to network boards and
LAN drivers, or the process of removing it. This process does not apply to
NetWare Services, but only to associated native NetWare DOS, and
Windows clients and servers.
Each board must have at least one communication protocol bound to the
LAN driver for that board. Without a communication protocol, the LAN
driver can’t process packets.
You can bind more than one protocol to the same LAN driver and board.
You can also bind the same protocol stack to multiple LAN drivers on the
server.
You can also cable workstations with different protocols to the same cabling
scheme.
Binding communication protocols to boards and drivers
To bind communication protocols to boards and drivers in native NetWare,
use the INSTALL program or the BIND console command. Use BIND for
each board in the server.
Until a protocol is bound to a board, users attached to the cabling scheme
from the board can’t log in.
