[OpenAFS] RE: OpenAFS-info digest, Vol 1 #238 - 15 msgs

[Cameron, Frank]

Brandon,

Do you need to install NetBEUI for the AFS client?  I'm running the IBM
client on several W2K boxes using NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

Is your NT domain an NT4 style domain or an Active Directory domain?

On W2K the NeBIOS over TCP/IP setting is found in:
	Network and Dial-up Connections
	Properties of network connection
	Properties of TCP/IP
	Advanced
	WINS
		There will be three setings:
		Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
		Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
		Use NetBIOS setting from DHCP server

The default setting is to enable NetBIOS only if the DHCP server provides
a WINS server.  If you are using Active Directory you may not have WINS
servers so NetBIOS would end up disabled.  (You can see if you have WINS
servers by running 'ipconfig /all' from the command prompt.)

Subject: [OpenAFS] NetBIOS on Win2K won't ReEnable

I installed AFS on my Win2k box and even installed NetBEUI to get it to
work.  Took me a while to inderstadn the LANA numbers and stuff, but after
trying a bunch of them, I was good to go.
 
My question is this: After I installed and got the AFS stuff working on my
Win2k box (client only) I could not log into the NT domain.  I noticed that
NetBIOS was disabled by looking at the ipconfig /all command.  I checked
allt he check boxes, and even searched TechNet for a solution, but no matter
how hard I tried, I could not get NetBIOs to reenable.  I did try even
removing my interface's in the device manager, and even tried to reinstall
the interface drivers.
 
I finally gave up and reinstalled to a new directory.  I'm too busy to not
be able to get on the network.
 
Has anyone else had this problem, or been able to find a solution and turn
on NetBIOS again?  My NT domain is more important than AFS, unfortunately,
but I'm willing to do anything to get this working.
