This is all black magic to me, so if my problem statement doesn't
make sense please try to set me straight...
We have a 3rd party NFS client (Hummingbird NFS Maestro) installed on
our Windows XP Pro computers. On the other end of the wire is a Sun
box running Samba. So my Windows box can talk both SMB and NFS, as
can the Sun box.
Is there some way that I can force Windows to use one protocol rather
than the other? The specific problem that we have is that the Sun
box is hosting ClearCase, and nasty things happen when you try to
talk to ClearCase using SMB, so we want to force the Windows box to
use NFS. If we turn off Samba on the Sun box (which we can't do on
the production server) then Windows and ClearCase are perfectly happy
with one another. But as soon as we turn on Samba then we start
seeing the ClearCase problems.
(I guess the flip side of this question would be better addressed to
Rational/IBM or a Sun newsgroup: Is there some way to convince
ClearCase on the Sun server to favor NFS over Samba?)
TIA - Bob
Based on your comment, I would think this is an app setting, and not
necessarily trying to default the whole machine's network stack to use one
over the other. I know in Apple OSx (Bind) we must stipulate whether to use
SMB.
I would ask in the Sun group to see what those folks may have to say.
