Tim, Thanks for the reply... I will look into finding a configuration utility for my EEpro100 network card on ws004.
However that machine is the only one with PXE. The others that suffer from the same problem are using Linksys 10/100 cards. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to solve this issue?
