NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Creating additional network ports for NetBIOS
After you run the IBMŸ LotusŸ DominoŸ Server Setup program, you can create network segments for multiple NetBIOS interfaces on the same computer by adding a IBMŸ LotusŸ NotesŸ network port for NetBIOS for each additional NIC.
In addition to adding each port for NetBIOS, do the following:
Associate each Notes network port for NetBIOS with a specific NetBIOS interface by defining a LANA identifier for each port.
Make sure that all Domino servers that will access each other have an interface that uses a common transport protocol. It is best if they are also in the same IBM Lotus Notes named network.
Make sure that the network segments to which the server system's NICs are attached do not have a pathway in common. The NetBIOS name service (NetBIOS over IP) can fail if it detects the same system name or Domino name echoing back between the pathways. If you are using both the NetBIOS name service and DNS or a hosts file for name resolution, make sure that the server name in DNS or the hosts file is different from the system name.
