Which NIC with Ghost?

Could you please suggest NICs that work nicely with Ghost 2003 and Windows Server 2003 and XP machines?

I have trouble accessing network drive and would rather buy the right NIC than mess with custom NIC setup.

Thank you

Thanks Silver,

I get all kinds of errors when Ghost reboots, eg:

1) XP machine with built in SiS 900 PCI NIC:
"DOS error SYS0006 occured trying to load C:\NET\NET.EXE"

2) Server machine with D Link DFE-530TX NIC:
"FATAL - board not found in system" NET 5733
"The Requester service is not started"
"Abort 40213 @Find could not find the image file XXXXX on your system....."

There are also machines with Realtek RTL8029 Fast Ethernet NICs

I created Mapped Ghost Boot Disk on the client machine, restarted. Had ping replay from the server where client have mapped drive to.
Was asked to login but than I got message:

"You were loged on, but you have not been validated by a server. Therefore, you may not have permision to use some network resources"

Would you know what this message really means? I supplied correct domain user name and password.
