Hi all...
In short, given a single machine w/5 interfaces, how do you assign a
separate NetBIOS name to each interface? Using Samba-2.0.4 on HPUX
10.20, and this is the box that has 5 fast-ethernet interfaces on it
(the interfaces are all on the same network - a.b.c.1/24, a.b.c.2/24,
a.b.c.3/24...a.b.c.5/24).
In a bit more detail...
Each interface has its own IP address and its own DNS name. I know
how to give a single interface multiple NetBIOS names using the
aliasing option. I can get to each interface via IP address doing a
"net use \\my.ip.addr.here\sharename". However, when using a
bootable floppy (a Ghost boot-disk, actually), the version of the
NET.EXE program that is put on the floppy apparently isn't smart
enough to handle that type of command. I can only get to my primary
interface. We do a lot of Ghost'ing around here, and while we do
have the time to let it all occur on a single interface on the server
(it runs at night anyway) it'd be nice if we could make use of 3 or 4
of the 5 interfaces, and kinda spread the load.
Thanks all...summary reposted once answers come in :)
