what if the virtual server has multiple nics

Reubenwelsh

Is there any logic in the network card names?

no its basically going to be something like a script that sets up the ip address the subnet and gateway with defaults for subnet 255.255.255.0 if nothing entered

if second nic is required press yes

insert ip adress for second nic

etc
