I think MS just did us (and themselves) a disservice.

[Anders C. Thorsen]

Martin,

Thanks for this valuable information. I tried to search for this key 
in the Microsoft Knowledgebase and also the registry of Win2k. 

Could you provide some information on where this key is supposed to be?

There is a reg key called OptionalNames that will let you add more names
for a server. This was never tested so use it at your own risk.

Right, but since Windows boxes do not allow aliases, the only two
options 
are the 'real' service name and the *SMBSERVER generic name.  Thus, two 
connections max.
