WDS: Cant connect to server in capture image.

I have WDS installed on a MS Server standard 2003 with SP2

I have configured it and am able to boot into WDS via network boot on a client PC.

Im able to select the drive i want to copy and give the image a name.

But i cant connect to the server. i tried pinging the server via shift+f10 and im unable to ping through that.

I then did a bit of searching through technet and found that i had to add the nic drivers into the capture image in WDS

So i downloaded the client PC's nic driver and mounted the capture image added the .inf via windows PE tool.

Unmounted and added back to WDS. Restarted WDS services

Booted client PC and tried again still the same problem.

Any idea's

Client PC is a HP DC7800 and has a intel 82566DM gigabit adapter.
