[Samba] Samba File Server with 2 NICs, only one is used

[Anastasios Papadopoulos]

Hello all,

We have a Mandrake 10.1 server with Samba 3.0.13. The box has 2 NICs,
2 IPs and our DNS servers have both entries (same name for 2 IPs).
Since kerberos is not working around here (tried to fix it for about 3
weeks, then gave up) I found my workaround: I use NetBIOS alias for my
server, all clients use this alias for samba access and they
authenticate thgrough SSPI.

My problem is that only one of my NICs seems to work :

ifconfig | grep RX\ bytes gives:

          RX bytes:2906637535 (2771.9 Mb)  TX bytes:4256133463 (4058.9 Mb)
          RX bytes:13805476 (13.1 Mb)  TX bytes:546 (546.0 b)
          RX bytes:151532631 (144.5 Mb)  TX bytes:151532631 (144.5 Mb)
(last line is lo)

This data is after 8 days of heavy usage...

Any hints?
