• If you are using DHCP, the DNS and hostname will be set up correctly
if DHCP has been configured to do this.
If you are not using dynamic DNS or DHCP, you can use static entries to
set up DNS. Use one of the following methods to set up the hostname on
each server:
• Set up a DNS suffix. Select My Computer > Properties > Network
Identification > Properties. On the Identification Changes window,
select More. Then, on the DNS Suffix and NetBIOS Computer Name
window, type the fully qualified domain name as the “Primary DNS
suffix of this computer.”
• Add the server to the suffix search list. Select Settings > Control Panel
> Network and Dial-Up Connections. Then select any network
connection. On the Local Area Connection Properties window, select
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. On the Internet
Properties window, click Advanced. Then, on the Advanced TCP/IP
Settings window, select the DNS tab. Choose “Append these DNS
suffixes (in order),” and select Add to add your suffixes.
You can use nslookup to verify that the hostname is set up correctly.
2. Configure the Server for WINS Clients
WINS clients may be unable to access multi-homed cluster servers
(servers having multiple NICs) if NetBIOS and Microsoft client/server
network bindings are enabled on all interfaces. These settings should be
enabled only on publicly-reachable (routeable) interfaces.
We recommend that you disable the following on the private (non-routed
or non-client reachable) interfaces:
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP
• Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks
• File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks (the NetBIOS over TCP/
IP or NetBT client)
Also leave the DNS and WINS fields blank on the private interfaces.
