Not sure how to help you, but I'll try :-). For debugging purposes, try to isolate your system down to a single switch and two PCs. Just setup the single 3448 and one PC with the ghost server and one PC with the ghost client. Now see if you can get it to work with just this config. Send me the config so I can see what you are doing. I'll try to help you if I can. If you have a large network and cannot setup a small experimental network as described, it may be very difficult to figure out what's wrong without drawing out the entire network and looking at the configuration on everything.
Because GHOST working through the mulicast, you need to configure multicast support.
To do so under the privilage mode type:
ip igmp snooping
bridge multicast filtering
If you have multiple Vlan!
Under each vlan configuration mode type:
ip igmp snooping
ip igmp snooping mrouter learn-pim-dvmrp
If you are running GHOST through the router your router also has to be configured for multicast support. Let me know if you have difficulties with configuration
Note: Unless you have a device on the network sending IGMP queries (typically a router or Layer-3 device), enabling IGMP Snooping and Bridge Multicast Filtering on the 3400 will not provide any help with the multicast traffic. An IGMP Querier is needed for dynamic multicast support.
The only currently-shipping PowerConnect product that provides an IGMP Querier function is the 6024.
we have 2 - 6024f switches in the school.... is there something that needs to be changed on these or is the only setting that needs to be changed on the 3448 switches??
i know there are some 3348 switches in the school that multicast actually works on - so i just need to change the setting to match i assume
