Hello, Im trying to use Ghost 7.0 to Image a new HD in a client connected to a "server" by x-over cable (XpPro). Im trying to use Multicast to create the image, and followed Nortons directions but its not working properly!
The boot disk boots up but Ghost does NOT start automatically like they say it should! I can type ghost from the cmd prompt, but the Multicast option is grayed out!
I set up the network boot disk as DHCP. The client boots with the floppy ok, loads all drivers, confirms name/password, but brings me to the A:\ghost>dosghsrv prompt....
It then lists all options like Filename Session {options}
I can get Ghost to work w/o using Multicast, but it takes hours!!
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS????

I need toimage this pc ASAP before loading any more drivers/applications!!!!!

Please Help....

Why are you posting here? Call Norton. It's pretty obvious your settings are off.

the same reason why 1000's post here about Microsoft, without calling Mr Gates!!!!!
if its "obvious" that my settings are off, then why dont you explain which settings they are....

Bingo....so if anyone could please enlighten me on the correct settings, I would greatly appreciate it.....

Use static IP addresses for the "server" and the "client". Make sure the subnets match.
DHCP, in this instance, is not your friend.
