If you’re so inclined, you can also do this in the filerview GUI if you have (I believe) version 6.x. When modifying the settings of an individual interface in filerview, there’s a checkbox for whether that interface should register with WINS.

You can do an 'ifconfig eX -wins' to either de-register the new NIC and/or not register it at all.  Just do it before you bring the interface back up and you should be fine.

Make sure to modify /etc/rc so you don't hork on a reboot.

Subject: multiple nic's, seperate subnets, PDC communication prob

I'm having a problem with my filer.  I'm sure this has been answered before, but
I couldn't find the answer.

The filer is working great with existing network, using e0.  When I try to bring
up another network card on a seperate network, the filer tries to register the
new ip with the WINS server on the first network.  That operation barfs, then it
looses communication with the DC (you can ping the DC, but "cifs testdc" fails)
If I shutdown the new interface, communications with the DC resume.

Everything seems to work fine during the period in which it is out of
communication with the DC.

I don't want it to register the new IP with the WINS server or DC (Can I stop
that?).  In fact, only NFS operations will be used on the new network.

any advice?

thx,
Matt
