Netserver network Dos Boot disk

RedBack — Tue, 05 Feb 2002 20:17:14 GMT

I am having trouble successfully creating a Network Boot Disk for my Netservers. The NIC is a HP Netserver 10/100TX PCI. I am using the latest Dos driver. The problem is that although the driver appears to load okay, the IP address information does not bind to the card. The purpose of this card is to create Ghost images across the network. If anyone out there has successfully created a Boot Disk I would appreciate it if you could help me out.

If you have nt4.0 server in your network you can use tool called Network Client Administrator to create dos boot disk. Here is the link to MS knowledge base articel which explains how to include third party drivers in this tool http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q128800
Another posibility is to use drivers for Intel 10/100 LAN card because HP 10/100 LAN card has Intel chipset and work with Intel's driver. This may be easier way since many softwares which can create some kind of network boot disks (including Ghost) include drivers for Intel's card.

I have created the boot disk to work with many NIC cards and overall it works very well. The problem is only with HP Netservers. I have tried both the HP driver and the Intel driver but neither work. Is there not anyone out there that has a working Network boot disk for Netservers?

I'm astonished that after all these years the boot disk is still requested every two years or so.
As I'm just changing my e-mail address (too much spam), I will post the new one here and now:
Simply replace the dot between my first name an my last name by a dash.
