To implement client-side RPC, Windows 95 uses a Name Service Provider on a Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server. This service is provided by the Windows NT Locator which is a database that contains a list of servers and the information to connect to them. To allow Windows 95 to point to the computer running the locator service, modify the registry.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

 On the computer running Windows 95, run Registry Editor and add the NameService key under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc

  The NameService key should contain the following string values:      DefaultSyntax        "3" Endpoint            "\pipe\locator      NetworkAddress       "\\ Protocol            "ncacn_np" ServerNetworkAddress "\\  For other protocol entries, view the registry under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols      Default              (value not set) ncacn_ip_tcp        "rpcltc3.dll" ncacn_nb_nb         "rpcltc5.dll" ncacn_np            "rpcltc1.dll" ncacn_spx           "rpcltc6.dll" ncalrpc             "ncalrpc"
