I’m installing ADNM
I have a test setup in VMware workstation as followed:
1 domain server
1 email server
1 misc server
on the misc server is the db instance for avast with sql express 2005 sp1
there will be a WSUS instance too for the wsus updates
so on that machine i have 2 network interfaces
1 - internal vmware created network
1 - internet (via the corporate network)
when i install ADNM and it starts the mirror process (in dos box!) but it doesn’t want to recognize the interface with internet access.
if i ping in a dos box to avast.com or so, no problem, but the mirror doesn’t want to see it…
so i disable the internal network interface so only the interface will be seen that has internet connection
i tried to run mirror.exe /? manually but it starts the mirroring process
so no switches can be found by me :S
are there any switches at all?
maybe i may suggest this for the next adnm release:
- make the mirror process available in windows instead of dos
- make the user be able to choose which network interface should be used for the internet interface
advantages:
- ecstatically it looks better, shows uniformity (instead of a windows window with MIRROR CREATION and a lot of gray space and a separate dos box)
- u can have a visual/graphical progress bar of the complete process and per individual file
- error catching and reporting
- logging of downloads
(yes many of that can be / is done in the dos version too but the uniformity is important too for a professional product cq impression)
