  • 1.  Adding multiple NICs breaks PXE

    Posted Jul 12, 2011 06:28 PM

    I'm using DS 7.1, single server.

    Single NIC.

    PXE was running just fine.

    I had to add a couple nics for an ISCSI implementation.

    PXE is now busted.  My clients start up and look for a PXE server, then finally time out and boot to the hard drive.

    In the Altiris\Altiris Agent\Agents\Deployment\Task Handler\SBS\pxestartupinfo.log, it shows it is using the MAC address of the 3rd nic (the one for iscsi) and not for PXE.

    Any idea on where I can adjust this so PXE services uses the correct NIC?  The IP address in the initialPXEConfigPath.txt is correct.
