Problem using PXE Boot for Optiplex 780
Hi, I am having a problem trying to PXE boot a Optiplex 780, the system hangs on "Transferring Image".
From what I have seen on other forums this may be linked to shared IRQ's for the hard drive and/or the NIC, some suggest changing the IRQ for one of the devices to solve the problem, unfortunately the IRQ assignments do not appear within the BIOS on this model of pc.
Alternatively, most other people having similar problems seem to have resorted to using an alternative application for PXE boot, if anyone can recommend any PXE boot software which will definately work with this model then I would appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks for any assistance.

We also had trouble using PXE boot with the 755 and 780 models. In our case we are using FOG for imaging and including ATI Radeon video cards to support dual monitors. The PXE boot process would fail with the ATI card in place. Pull the card and the image works fine. Very inconvenient, but works for a quick solution. All of the prior tricks with BIOS updates and settings didn't work for us.

I had to download the generic driver for the Intel 82566 -- see http://www.intel.com/support/ethernetcomponents/controllers/83566/sb/cs-029661.htm
PXE works fine now.

The posted Link has been broken for over 5 years.
Where can I get drivers?
