Hi,
Setup:
Windows 2003 server with two network cards. One nic is configured for normal network use. The second nic is connected to a backup subnet (created for backup of servers only).
I have Landesk PXE services installed and configured it to act as proxydhcp and bootserver.
I added two options to my dhcp options : 66: PXEserverhostname and 67: pxeboot .
When i have the normal network NIC enabled only (so i disabled the backup nic temporary) the pxe service give the correct Proxy IP to a booting PXE client.
The problem occurs when i enable the second NIC.
For some reason the PXE service always sends the IP address of the second NIC to booting PXE client. It looks like the second nic is the primary network card for the Landesk PXE service. I havent find a place to set a primary ip address for this PROXY ip.
The question is, how do i force a default NIC for the PXE server / service or can i set the proper proxy ip address somewhere.
I allready changed metrix settings of both network cards and added the good proxy ip address in my hosts file. Those changes didnt help.
