The additonal NetBIOS name of my server does not work for print services.

A. It is possible to specify multiple NetBIOS names for a singlemachine as described in 'Q. How can I define multiple NetBIOS names for a machine?' however a bug in Windows NT 4.0means only the MAIN NetBIOS name is used for print services.

When trying to connect to a printer hosted by an NT server from a client theerror:

"Could not connect to printer: The printer name is invalid. "

will be displayed if the server name you are using is one of the serversOptional NetBIOS names.

To workaround this always make sure the 'printers' NetBIOS name is alwaysthe machines main NetBIOS name.
