If you're going to use that architecture, you should consider doing the following:
* Use a Switch rather than a Hub for the BAN. * Setup LMHOSTS entries on the Backup Server * Disable the BAN NIC from participating in WINS ASB http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Steve Aspindle Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 5:17 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: MultiHomed Problems - WINS? stuff..... Hi, All this WINS Stuff is really interesting.... and maybe whilst fresh in peoples minds could help me configure my net..? I have W2K servers , 3 DCs , running Ad in Mixed Mode..., rest are stand alone... All servers have 2 Net Cards. "Primary Net Card" is 10.195.*.* "Secondary Net Card is 10.196.*.* The 10.195.*.* are connected directly to 100Mb Switch..... The 10.196 cards are connected to a Seperate Physical HUB... which is NOT connected in any way to 10.195... The primary idea being to have a LAN and what I termed a BAN (Backup Area Network) - so that I can Backup the servers across a seperate Physical link , and not load the LAN with Backup Traffic... Also connected to the 10.196 HUB is a stand alone Server running the Backup Software - currently ARCSERVE... My problem is that the BACKUP server can't seem to be a member of the 10.195 W2K Domain...and regularly looses connections with the servers... For a First question... Q1) Does this seem like a Viable config? ie) No Backup traffic can flow across 10.195......(physically or higher up...) or Q2) Am I wasting my time? I have about 1Terabyte to backup, in different guises, both to tape ,disk etc...., rotational,full,incrementals etc.. Any help would be great.
