Network Boot Disk

[jmarler]

Quick question regarding create creating a Network DOS Boot disk. I want to create a network boot disk so that I can boot to DOS. connect to my fileserver, and run Norton Ghost to image my systems to the fileserver. However, everytime the boot process hits the Netbind.com, I get the following error . . .


Error 33: Unable to Bind



I am attempting to attatch to an NT4 PDC Server with 3COM 3C905B 10/100 Ethernet cards on all systems involved. Any help on this error message would be greatly appreciated! Thanks All!

SOLUTION
This is an issue with the default protocol.ini file shipped with the 3COM 3C905 network adapter drivers. There are two ways to fix it. The first one requires that you modify every DR disk you make.
1. The first solution is to edit protocol.ini on the DR floppy and change the line that says "DriverName=$" so that it says "DriverName=EL90x$".
The second solution is to add "DriverName=EL90X$" to the [tcm$el90x_nif] section of the OEMSETUP.INF file in \ndis2\dos on disk2 of the latest 3COM drivers.
