Hi all
I´ve got an Intel Server Pro 1000 PT Quad Adapter
I´m running VISTA Home Premium 32BIT
Netsetman ver 2.5.2 installed
I need to have the ability to change IP settings on various NICS in order to get internet access through different routes.
NETSET Manager seems the perfect solution especially as a non technical person will be left with the computer...
With NETSET Manager:
I´ve noticed that persistant route is all that seems to change when i toggle between "activating" each interface. It´s almost too good to be true. However the OS seems to "get confused" upon testing. By that I mean the previously accessed gateway will still reply to ICMP even though another adapter is activated..
The answer (i think) would be to run ,as part of a script, the ability to simply disable the unneeded interfaces.
If I disable the "unwanted" interfaces manually, the whole thing works perfectly with the packets routing down the only enabled NIC
For that I´ve decided to look at "devcon.exe"
An example of one of my four scripts is seen below. It is indended to enable the one interface and disable the other three..
My problem is that the utility disables ALL four interfaces :-(
Anybody familiar with devcon got any additional scripts or ideas?
Also I cant add 4 seperate NICS as the form factor of the PC is too small. It has to be this quad port NIC
Help appreciated
Thanks in advance
devcon disable =net PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUBS
devcon disable =net PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUBS
devcon disable =net PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUBS
devcon enable =net PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUBS

hmmm.... i never touch QUAD network cards. Even never heard about it :)
But.... devcon must work fine...
In you script i suggest you:
1. try like this
devcon disable "PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUB
devcon enable "PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUB
without class usage and with quotes
2. try to run this script from .cmd file with your command - "standalone" and check that propertly network cards are disbled. Because this may be NetSetMan bug.... who knows?
Hi
Thanks for your comments.
I take it the "class usage" is the "\" that follows the "PCI\VEN* (excuse my ignorance)
If that is the case, then, as I said, devcon disables all four interfaces on the same physical card.
I agree, if the PCI\VEN code is different, say for a Realtek LAN card and a Atheros WiFi card, then simply referencing them in each line would work, but for the Intel PT Quad, the PCI\VEN ID is the same for all four interfaces and it's the "Class usage bit" at the end, after the "\" , that's different.
The command I used to find the ID was:
Devcon -m \\mypc find PCI\*
The line I'm using in my batch file say:
devcon disable "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUB
I guess what I could look at is disabling each interface then enabling one by name...
netsh seems to have that functionality but any comments or suggestions welcome
The saga continues
Any ideas
