Latitude C600 C/Dock II & RIS PXE Problem
Hello,
We have several Latitude C600 laptops that have MiniPCI wireless cards in them. In order to be able to use RIS to image them, we purchased a C/Port II APR from Dell. They are all running the latest BIOS.
What happens is, I try to PXE boot from the C/Port II NIC, and it goes into the MBA, and then it gives me 8-10 "PXE-E11: ARP Timeout" errors over a period of a few minutes before finally failing.
My first thought on this is it might be an issue with the old version of PXE that seems to be in the C/Port II, but I can't find a way to update it. I already have the latest BIOS version.
Is there a Flash available for the NIC in the C/Port II? Or is there any other way to fix this? No other machines have this problem, and our entire reasoning for buying the docking station was to be able to image these machines.
Let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks,
-Jeff
