NetBios over TCP/IP on multiple adapters

[Eric Erickson]

Each of my WSEB Servers in my home office network has 2 adapters. I've
started adding WinXP machines to the network, therefore I need to switch to
NetBios over TCP/IP. Now I've successfully added this to Adapter #0 in the
system, but want to totally convert the network and add this protocol to the
other physical adapter. I don't see how I can add the secondary instance to
the names list. Each adapter has a unique IP address, but I can only
associate that name with 1 Netbios name prefix in the configuration notebook.


When I attempt to add the second adapter address to the Names List, it
complains about a duplicate Netbios Name Prefix

For example.

Server #1
Netbios Name Server-1
Adapter #0 IP address 192.168.0.101
Adapter #1 IP address 192.168.0.111

Now I can add Server-1 to the NetBios Names List under 192.168.0.101, but
what name do I use for 192.168.0.111.

TIA

Check how ABB RNP (redundat network protocol?) works, 2 adapters om
the same network cant have the same name. If both are active.

You might want to check out how MPTS is configured in for example
http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php?name=support or other sites. If it
still is online.

But why 2 adapters on the same net?
