  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

You can configure Services for Macintosh (SFM) on a multi-homed Windows NT Server. The Zone value in the AppleTalk Protocol Configuration dialog box can be configured on a per-network-card basis but the server will still reside in only one zone.

MORE INFORMATION

AppleTalk can be bound to multiple network cards. Each network card is registered as a different AppleTalk node and Windows NT Server can route between them. However, AppleTalk registration rules require that any AppleTalk device (computer or printer) be listed in only one zone, so the Windows NT AFP server process registers only one network adapter in the Desired/Default zone. If the administrator assigns a different Desired zone for each network card, the last Desired Zone selected will be where the Windows NT AFP server process registers itself.
