Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Quick Start


NETBIOS Options

You can use Network Basic/Input Output (NetBIOS) to communicate over TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or NetBEUI. Two machines can communicate if their communications method and underlying transport match. If you move one transport enabler, you see each binding assigned to a LANADAPTER. This is repeated if you have multiple physical network adapters.

Some clients communicate using NetBIOS over the NetBEUI adapter. For example, to have an OS/2 client back up to a TSM server on Windows NT, the LANADAPTER statement in the server options file must match the entry in the system control panel that has the Nbwnt->Nbf bindings.

Here is an example of a NetBIOS setting:
