Hey folks. I already checked technet. Is there a general
document out there on the web that explains how to set up
a server with one network card to have more than one name?
Thanks in advance!!

Depends upon how your network resolves computer names.

If you're using DNS for name resolution, just add additional DNS
entries pointing to the same address. Spammers do that all the time.

WINS can also be manually updated, so a duplicate entry there wouldn't
be impossible.

Netbios (NBT) master browser updates automatically, so that's pretty
much a one computer one name situation.

I hate spam - PLEASE get rid of the spam before emailing me!
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
 
Hello DP,

If you are talking about NetBIOS name, then you cannot.
If you are talking about DNS hostnames, then you can just configure multiple
hostnames within DNS all pointing to the same IP address.
