Notes

To open Network Connections, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
This task is performed only if you are operating in a DNS-only environment (an environment that has no WINS server). Message Queuing requires DNS to be configured to correctly resolve computer names.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
