Microsoft Networking
<networking> Microsoft's name for the networking subsystems of Windows 95
and later. Not to be confused with The Microsoft Network.
Microsoft networking uses the SMB file sharing protocol. It is implemented as
file system drivers i.e. "installable file systems" (IFS).
The network redirector "Client for Microsoft Networks", is implemented in the
VREDIR.VXD virtual device driver. Peer resource sharing is provided by "File and
Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" (VSERVER.VXD).
Windows 95's support for Netware (NCP) networks is provided in a similar way via
NWREDIR.VXD and NWSERVER.VXD.
