USing Madrix on computer with 2 network interface cards
Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2012 2:56 am
Hi folks:
I read the past posts here (from 2010), and the current Madrix instructions that said you can not instruct Madrix to use a single network card when a computer has 2 cards for example. The instructions go on to say Madrix defaults to the first card that is detected when the computer boots up (which is the primary network card).
The issue for me is that I use my i7 computer for web browsing, etc, which I would like to continue to be able to do while using Madrix, which is why I purchased the second NIC, to allow what I thought could serve as a dedicated NIC for Madrix to use, to ensure it wouldn't be bogged down by traffic on my primary network.
I should mention I stripped the 2nd NIC down to bare bones, to make it clean.
When I boot up Madrix it defaults to my primary card. The only way it will use the second card is if I unplug my primary NIC from the network. Then it outputs through ther second NIC fine.
Have there been any fixes/updates/workarounds that folks are aware of that I might be able to use?
Thanks!
Greg
