Choosing a PC network card

If the PC running NWare is fitted with more than one network card, you can choose which card to use when communicating with the network. This is useful if, for example, your PC is connected to two separate networks via two separate network cards or via a network card and a wireless network interface.

When you start NWare, you will be asked which card you want to use. Once you choose a card, the setting is used each time you start the program. You will only be asked to choose a card at a later time if the IP address of any of the cards has changed.

Notes:

• If you start using a new IP address to connect to a network, or disconnect and then reconnect to the network, you may need to restart Pandad. For more information, refer to the section Recovering Pandad after it has stopped functioning in the document Pandad Administrator Guide.
• You can use a wireless network with NWare and Kiosk, but we recommend that you use a wired network whenever possible, especially when deploying projects. Wi-fi connections are generally not as reliable as wired connections for transferring large amounts of data.
