Guys,

Can anyone provide a soultion for this??

chakko

at line 48 is where you get the network cards. You will need something more there to filter and get the specific card that you want.

What attribute can you use to narrow down which card that you want to activate Netbios for?

We are using 3 NIC cards here..suppose for example.

here we are using ADN network, NAS network

I want to add those entries to ADN network, so pls help me....

chakko

Here is some code you can replace lines 50-52.

You need some attribute to find the NIC that you want to edit. So, I chose to use the Default Gateway setting on the NIC as my search attribute.
My example will change the NETBIOS settting (ENABLED) for any NIC with the Default Gateway set to 192.168.33.1

For Each nic In nics
if Not isNull(nic.DefaultIPGateway) then
For x = 0 to UBound(nic.DefaultIPGateway)
if nic.DefaultIPGateway(x) = "192.168.33.1" then
intNetBT = nic.SetTCPIPNetBIOS(ENABLED)
end if
Next
end if
Next

thanks for your help chakko..

what i mean is i want to add dns and wins entries to a specific adapter, not enabling netbios over tcp/ip.

We are using 3 nics here..i want to add those to a adn(nic card name) to those entries.

Can u make a script whether it will prompt to ask "which network card do u want those entries?"

chakko

Try this. You need to replace the part that says Put_your_domain.local with your domain

The script will popup a message based on the 'friendly' name of your Network connection.

sorry, there was a typo for the WINS settings.
