samba/smb.conf question

[Diss]

I have finally managed to network my Ubuntu 11.10 to Win7 - though i seem to have a reduction in internet speed - it was quite bad but improved a lot after changing these bits.........
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host

However it still seems slower.

My query relates to the fact that the motherboard has 2 network connections ETH0 and ETH1 but the smb.conf file (see below) inly refers to eth0 - assuming this matters is there any way to fix this?

==============================================
#### Networking ####
# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to
# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
# interface names are normally preferred
; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0
===============================================

thanks

i think you mean that i can't for instance specify both eth0 and eth1 ;
interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0;eth1
which is what i was curious about

will try what you suggested

many thanks

I'm pretty sure ; is a comment prefix in the samba configuration.

Anything after ; will be not be read by samba.

That was just an example - i put the ";" in myself - i wondered if something like this, but maybe a different notation was possible

Do you want to cobbine eth0 and eth1 so you can increase transfer speeds?

If so you need to bond them and create a bond0 device, then just specify that in smb.conf

thanks, but no, wasn't trying to do this
