    We didn't need the full story of your purchase struggles in order to get to the question. Also, do not ask unrelated questions in a single post. If you want to know how the ikvm can be accessed over the network, that's unrelated to this question. Commented Jan 14 at 8:49

    You are aware that the ikvm module has its own ethernet port that you don't need to hook up to? That it's an "out-of-band" network? Commented Jan 14 at 8:54

    ... if it is physically separate from the motherboard with its own network connection, and you knew all that, you're wondering if it can also access the main motherboard networking capabilities? Commented Jan 14 at 9:01

    We can debate the meaning of "separate", but that then means your question is, "does a soldered-on ikvm chip have access to the mainboard's networking interfaces?" And for that, you would have to believe that the attached version has a radically different mainboard design ... Is that what you're thinking? Commented Jan 14 at 12:00
