gnoelken Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi, The Release notes for Retrospect for Windows, version 8 (http://kb.retrospect...&fs=Search&pn=1) state that a static IP address can be configured with the Disaster Recovery CD: Bug Fix 2497: The Retrospect Emergency Recovery Disc now supports both static IP and DHCP networking I just created the CD. When I boot up to the CD, I see no option for configuring the IP address. It only seems to get an IP from DHCP. Is there some method I should follow to use a static IP? Thanks and regards, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and regards, Greg I did it with the beta version..but had to 'shift click' on restore locally....that pulled up a command prompt that allowed me to put in a 'netsh' command for a static IP. I'll look thru my emals and see if I can find the exact directions. I'm not sure about the release version - if it has a hot button or not. BTW - I tested it with a few systems and it worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
