I was using XG Home 17 on this PC- https://www.pondesk.com/product/Intel-E3845-4-LAN-1-COM-AESNI-4G-Fanless-Firewall-Router_MNHO-073 running Intel I211-AT Gigabit Ethernet ports.
It was fine until updating to 18 home. Then it stopped routing traffic and I opted to do a clean install of 18 home - 18.0.1 build 396
However, none of the network ports respond to ping to 172.16.16.16 (I've checked my client config to 172.16.16.2/24 and also /16 for the heck of it.)
The console goes straight to Shell prompt rather than menu.
Response to what I believe is the request of the IP configuration is...
ipconfig locate protocol error simple network protocol
...which I take it to mean that it can't identify any of the network cards.
Can anyone shed light on the problem please. Is there a BIOS configuration I have to change to get it to work?
