Dual NICs

Post by Rich »

Hello,

I'm currently evaluating 4.6.8 (our production system still runs 4.2.1 with approximately 35 licensed clients). The system that I'm using for testing has two network cards; one on the motherboard and one installed in a PCI slot. The NIC in the PCI slot is the one I'm using and the on-board card has been disabled in BIOS. After the system loads the boot image I'm prompted to select the network card to work with. I would have thought that by disabling the on-board card WTware wouldn't try to use it.

Is there a way to make WTware use the NIC that it was booted from, and ignore the NIC that has been disabled in BIOS?

Regards,
Rich

Currently there is no way to tell WTware which card it should use.
