We are finding that the 3c905c NIC will not boot to w2k advanced server.

It has just been in recent months with the newer motherboards.

We install OEM ME and W98 on a multitude of machines, thus booting to the server and downloading a ghost image for burn in tests and the OS would be nice.

Need help

thanks

Are you running multicast and using the multicast boot disk or are you using a standard tcp/ip boot disk and connecting to a share? Connecting to the share requires netbios. Since multicast runs as it's own service it may not require netbios. Try using multicast and the multicast boot disk. If it doesn't work let me know what the error message is. Also check your W2S security log for failed access.. you could also have a permission issue.

Are you trying to do RIS?
