Dual NICs
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2010 12:01 am
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
