PE 1750 and Bart's boot disk
We've used Bart's network boot disk for some time on a variety of servers (1650's, 2450's, 2550's and 2650's) without many issues. It works very well and allows us to complete unattended installs of W2K. We've recently recieved our first "batch" of 1750's and I been trying to get them to boot to the network using Bart's.
I have a pretty thorough understanding of how Bart's works but I can't get it to work with the 1750. I've tried a variety of versions of the Broadcom NetXtreme DOS drivers (B57.DOS) without much luck.
Then, using PCISCAN.EXE I discovered that the device for the NIC didn't exist in the NDIS.PCI file. I added the device and the NIC was identified on the run BUS ect.. I thought I was home free but still am unable to access the network. I'm get prompted for my domain password but I am unable to issue a "NET USE" command.
Has anybody else experienced this with the 1750 line?

I've got this thing working and ghosting performance is quite good.
Here are the conditions under which I have the disk functioning.
1. Download the latest barts boot disk
2. You need the latest version of the B57 drivers located on the nu2 web site. http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/index.php#niclist
3. Manually edit the Protocol.ini file if you are using a switch set to full duplex (typical for a server farm or other high-speed backbone). You need to modify the lines LineSpeed= and Duplex= Note: There are no spaces between the parms and the actual value. Set values to match your environment.
4. I used DHCP option in conjunction with loading the packet driver interface.
5. I have only the first network card connected to our Cisco 2924 switch.
