HNS_MAPPING_NOT_SUPPORTED

HNS_MAPPING_NOT_SUPPORTED is an HRESULT used by Windows Host Networking Service (HNS). It indicates that the target network mode does not provide the requested port-mapping capability.

What to check for HNS_MAPPING_NOT_SUPPORTED

  • Confirm the network driver and whether it supports HNS or WinNAT port mappings.
  • Check that the mapping is being applied to the correct network and endpoint type.
  • Choose a supported network mode or expose the service through an appropriate external mechanism.

Diagnostic discriminator: Check the network and endpoint mode selected for the mapping request. This result means that mode does not support the requested mapping capability; changing only the port number will not fix it.
