Network Card issues
LockedI successfully pushed out a ghost image onto a Dell machine (NT4.0) from a Ghost multicast server. The machine had a 3com 3c905C network adapter installed. When I tried to join the domain afterwards I was unable to connect. I could ping loopback….also, it would not let me specify an IP address, ipconfig always turned up blank (regardless if statically assigned or dhcp)obviously the NIC was working, otherwise the image would not have been successful. So I removed the adapter from properties menu and tried reinstalling the adapter. NT had the balls to tell me that there was no adapter installed. So I rebooted, reseated, and moved the card. NO LUCK. So then I removed the card totally and replaced it with a 3c905 not a 3c905c and it recognized it. 3com had drivers for the 905c, but NT would never see it for me to use them (the thought of a 3Com clay pigeon entered my mind). I put the 905c in a 2000 machine and it recognized it and it worked. WHAT THE F@#$
If you have any ideas, let meknow. Thanks
