I'm trying to do a bare metal restore to a machine whose built-in NIC is malfunctioning (but shows up as working in Device Manager). I attached a USB NIC and was able to get its driver loaded but am unable to get it to find the WHS server. Since the USB NIC activity lights are not blinking, I'm wondering if the restore software is still trying to use the onboard NIC.
Does anyone know what WHS Restore does when it sees more than one network interface in the system? And whether one can force it to use a particular network interface?
Thanks.
