Or a full name, model etc. It's on two series of Gigabyte mainboards we ordered lately, as onboard PCI express cards. Don't know the exact board models (they are on a remote location and not at my home office), but can get them for your if needed. The card was quite strange right from the beginning. All drivers available didn't work with RIS. With the help of Gianluigi Tiesi from http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/pxe.php I was able to find out why. The driver only were for REV_01, while the card itself identified to the BINL server without REV_01, where no drivers were available. After patching the INF file, it worked fine. In Windows, the card is now known as REV_02 and seem to work even according to the INF file there is no driver for REV_02... It has this PCI ID: PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_E0001458 > What drivers are you using? Shipped with Windows, or the ones delivered with > a network card? Windows has no built-in drivers for it, so I downloaded the latest one from RealTek. I think these drivers delay starting one service needed for network browsing. I normally used cmdlines.txt of Windows setup to install WPKG from the network, but this didn't work on the new machines, some service was unable to start (unfortunately I didn't write down which one). So I moved WPKG installation to the first logon which is done by autologon directive, and this worked. But now we have the issues with WPKG not running. Installing the chipset drivers for the board didn't cure the problem, by the way. Any chance to log which error message is shown? I could bet on a Windows service not ready yet... Florian |
