I've had problems with NetInstall over the years

Fri Jul 01, 2022 7:12 pm

Like many, I've had problems with NetInstall over the years. I eventually started using NetInstall over Linux, and this is much better. I see that NetInstall now comes in windows and windows 64 versions. Any recent experience indicating that problems are fewer with these specific versions?

The Linux version does not work for me because it always assumes you want to use the first network interface in the system.
Similar issue affects the Windows version, but fortunately I have an old Windows XP laptop with only a single network interface (it doesn't even have WIFI).

Since 2007, after 15 years of experience, everything indicates that the problem is usually Windows or who uses Netinstall.
And I use Netinstall with PCs with multiple LAN interfaces, and it works every time, because I know how to manage interfaces.
As it is written on other posts that I have written previously.

I can't write anything about the Linux version, because I've never used it.

The problem is not "multiple network interface", but new winsock from Windows 10 that do not permit use of Layer2 more than one NIC at time...

The problem with Netinstall has always been that it does not allow you to select the network interface you want to use, it always uses the first available one.
That even affects the Linux version. And Windows XP too. Has nothing to do with Windows 10.
