I have issues with RIS and an unsupported NIC. The nic is an Intel Pro 100 found in the Compaq Evo 500D series PC's. The nic is PXE compliant however when I connect to the RIS server using SMB (the second part of RIS) it tells me that I dont have the necessary driver installed in the image. I have followed the directions in MS Q256184 and Q315279. Is there something I am doing wrong? I think I need help someone who has done this before.

Thank you!

The card might feature in the list but being a compaq machine some have firmware problem that could prove to be a nightmare. In my experience I have always used the Remote Installation Services Boot Disk (Rbfg.exe) when ever the PXE fails and it hasalways worked given similar circumstances.
