I have not seen this approach mentioned anywhere and I would be happy to write a wiki article on how this was configured and Wed, 05 Mar 2014 03:00:15 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/nic-dedicated-to-cifs-fileserver/m-p/307534#M260664 unknown-user 2014-03-05T03:00:15Z Re: NIC dedicated to CIFS Fileserver https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/nic-dedicated-to-cifs-fileserver/m-p/307535#M260665 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I would like to identify myself as the "anonymous" poster (registration problem).</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I have completed a second installation of Alfresco Community 4.2e with a 2nd NIC, this time on Windows 8.
