Can I run another file sharing service with client drive mapping?

Yes, with additional configuration. In a default installation, you can't use client drive mapping and another file sharing service, such as Samba, because they both use port 139/tcp.

To allow more than one service to use port 139/tcp:

  1. Configure the Secure Global Desktop host to have more than one IP address by either installing another network interface card (NIC) or using IP aliasing to assign multiple IP addresses to a single NIC.
  2. Configure the IP addresses you want the Secure Global Desktop server to bind to for client drive mapping:
  3. Configure the other service(s) to bind to a different IP address.
