4-3-4 Setting the network speed To set the network speed, HP recommends using Auto-Negotiate (which is the default setting-see Figure 4-6). This will allow the client network interface to be auto-configured for optimal performance. However, for troubleshooting purposes or on networks that don't auto-negotiate to optimal speeds, manual settings may be required. If necessary, select Manually set network options, and specify full-duplex or half-duplex operation, as well as the network speed. Figure 4-6 Setting the client network speed IMPORTANT: The client computer network settings should be adjusted to the same settings as the network switch the client computer is connected to. This will prevent problems such as an auto-negotiating network switch having difficulty connecting to a manually-set client computer. 4-3-5 Altiris Deployment Server parameters Figure 4-7 shows the default Altiris Deployment Server parameters. The checked box Multicast to auto-detect server IP will cause the client to search for a deployment server on the network. However, if a Deployment server static IP address is entered, that address will be used to contact the deployment server. Figure 4-7 Altiris Deployment Server parameters 4-3-6 Setting host addresses Select Network Configuration followed by Host Addresses to display the dialog in Figure 4-8. This allows IP address and hostname pairs to be entered into the client, which is useful in situations where a DNS server is not accessible. If a DNS server is accessible, the client computer will first use any IP address/hostname pairs that have previously been entered into the Host Addresses dialog. Figure 4-8 Host Address dialog 22
