A system and method for enabling a file server to service a plurality of physical networks, wherein each of the networks has a network protocol of the same type. The system and method comprises a single instance of a filing protocol, and an object-oriented class for implementing a session protocol. The system and method further comprises means for invoking a plurality of session protocol instances, where each one of the plurality of session protocol instances corresponds to one of the plurality of physical networks. Each one of the plurality of session protocol instances services the corresponding physical network and communicates with the single instance of the filing protocol, which enables the single instance of the filing protocol to service the plurality of physical networks.
