                     12: The OSF DCE environment uses the DCE Cell Directory Service
                     13: (CDS) for its RPC name service. However, the OSF has not yet
                     14: released a specification of the protocol used to access the
                     15: CDS. To allow interoperation between DCE computers and RPC
                     16: client applications that call RPC name service API
                     17: functions, you must use a gateway to the DCE CDS.
                     18: 
                     19: To help you develop such a gateway, Microsoft defines an
                     20: interface for a gateway protocol in the files NSICLT.IDL,
                     21: NSSVR.IDL, and NSICOM.IDL, and provides the client-side
                     22: implementation of this gateway protocol in RPCNS.DLL. One
                     23: such implementation of the server side gateway is currently
                     24: available in the Digital Equipment Corporation DCE Starter
                     25: Kit.
                     26: 
                     27: To use the gateway so that your RPC application can
                     28: interoperate with DCE RPC applications:
                     29: 
                     30: 1) Verify that the gateway is started on the DCE host
                     31: 
                     32: 2) Verify that the client is running the TCP/IP transport
                     33: 
                     34: 3) (Microsoft Windows NT only) Set the registry entry
                     35: Software\Microsoft\Rpc\NameService\ServerNetworkAddress to a
                     36: string of the form "<ip address of gateway 1>; <ip address
                     37: of gateway 2>...", where <ip address of gateway n> is the ip
                     38: address of the nth gateway in the list.
                     39: 
                     40: 4) Set the following registry entries under Software\
                     41: Microsoft\Rpc\NameService to the following values:
                     42:

                     48: 
                     49: To change registry entry settings on Microsoft Windows NT,
                     50: use the REGEDIT utility. On MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows,
                     51: edit the text file RPCREG.DAT.
