VMWARE VIRTUAL NIC
Hi, all I'm trying to pxe boot a vm in vmware version 6 to run ghost but I can't get the driver to load. I get ghost to load but it's with out network support.
I have this in my protocol.ini
;-------------------------
; AMD's PCNet Family Ethernet Adapter ;
;-------------------------
[protman]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[pktdrv]
drivername=PKTDRV$
bindings=nic
intvec=0x60
chainvec=0x66
[PCNTND]
DriverName = "PCNTND$"
And this in my config.sys
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=\net\protman.dos /I:\net
DEVICE=\net\dis_pkt.dos
DEVICE=\net\PCNTND.DOS
LASTDRIVE = Z
is there somthing I'm missing?

Ok, with a few modifications to my protocol.ini it worked, but I can't say why I don't know what the ibm,nts, or netbeui stuff has to do with this, all my other protocol.ini files look just like the one I posted minus the different driver and we have four other nics we use between six models of dell optiplex machines. It's just with the Vmware virtual AMD nic I have this problem, and I have tried to use the intel e1000 hard coded in the vmx file but it just gets ghost connected and running it wont get an IP to join a ghost cast session. Thanks again for the info

If you could explain what the other info in the ini file is for that would be great, so I understand what it does.
