Ghost 2003 Peer-to-Peer TCP/IP Problem

Final update.  Turned out the card in the B600r was faulty.  It let me go from the B600r to the 8300, but not the other way.  Put in a new card from my box of stuff I've gotten free after rebate , and it worked great.  Also decided to use mapped drives instead of network peer-to-peer and that worked well.  Hope this helps someone else.

Update - in frustration I changed the card's driver on the B600r and it's work...  Let's see if it finishes.

For those Ghost experts...

Running Ghost over my network.  Going from a B600r to an 8300, and back the other way.  Using Ghost boot disks on both machines. 

Going from the B600r to the 8300 works flawlessly, although it takes 2 hrs to do 24gb w. high compression.

Going from 8300 to B600r doesn't work, but it used to...  I get TCP/IP Sending Data Failed, Error 34004 after about 2% done. 

So, the data goes one way, not the other... 

Symantec says: This problem appears to be due to drive configuration. At the computer you set as the Master computer, check the second IDE port for devices. Removing those devices or reconfiguring them as slave devices instead of master devices might resolve the problem.

The problem might also be caused by using a damaged network interface card (NIC), wrong drivers for the NIC, or incorrectly configured NIC drivers.

I've discounted the 2nd idea as it works going one way just fine.  So, on drive configuration - The B600r has 3 drives.  The boot drive is hooked to a Promise card, and is seen as disk 3, it's 120gb divided into two 60s, front is C, back is I.  Second drive is a 30gb drive, seen as primary master, disk 0, it's drive H.  Third drive is a 40gb drive, seen as primary slave, disk 1, it's drive G.  Disk 2 is a zip, and it's drive E.  CD is drive D.

The 8300 has two drives.  The boot drive is hooked to a Promise card, and is seen as disk 1, it's 80gb, and it's C.  The second drive is a 40gb drive, seen as disk 0, primary master, and it's G.  CD is drive D, CD burner is drive E.

I ghost from the B600r C drive (disk 1) to the 8300 G drive (disk 0), and it works just fine as I said.  I'm going from a drive on a promise card, to a drive that's the primary master.  There is nothing on that machine's primary slave plug.

When I try to ghost from the 8300 C drive (disk 1, just like on the B600r), it won't work to either the H drive (disk 0, primary master) OR to the back half of the 120, which is drive I (disk 3).  Same error after 2% done.

It worked fine months ago.  Nothing has been changed... 

Following Symantec's info, I checked the setup on the 8300.  The secondary IDE port has the two CD drives on it, one as master, one as slave, determined by Cable Select.  And, it's been that way all the time.

Ideas welcome, I'm perplexed.
