Hello Everyone,

I have been testing Ris for our organisation.
I have everything running, all the drivers install correctly and the install of the test computer works great.
However i have a question, i searched the forum here but couldn't find the anwser. So please help ;-)
Be gentle it is my first post here whistling.gif

The Network drivers install correctly and i have a connection to the network.
It would be great if the card sets himself automaticly to 100mbs Full duplex.
This is the setting that is used on our network infrastructure.
Can this be done via RIS? And if so how?

Thanx in advance

Babbel

Ive had a read around but there dosent apear to be an easy way to set this like in the sif file.

looks like you may need to edit each drivers inf file & set these to 100FD.

or export a registry from preset PCs so you can reimport the registry keys for that specific vendor.

Thanx for the awnsers, i will try it and tell u how it works.

I tried to change the driver file. But i can't get it to work.
I Have posted a part of the inf file.

AutoDetect = "Auto Detect"
SpeedDuplex = "Link Speed & Duplex"
10Mb_Half_Duplex = "10Mbps/Half Duplex"
10Mb_Full_Duplex = "10Mbps/Full Duplex"
100Mb_Half_Duplex = "100Mbps/Half Duplex"
100Mb_Full_Duplex = 1 "100Mbps/Full Duplex"
1000Mb_Full_Duplex = "Auto-negotiate 1000Mbps"
AnsLoaded = "ANS Loaded"

What am i doing wrong?
