Steven, Thanks for the reply. What I've found is that the stable version of DRBL Live will not detect the network card on a Dell Optiplex 380. The testing version of DRBL Live does find the 380's network card. When I PXE boot the Optiplex 380 from a stable version of DRBL Live, the network card is not detected. It is detected when I PXE boot the 380 from a testing version. When I PXE boot an Optiplex 360 from a stable version of DRBL Live, it's network card is detected. But when I PXE boot the 360 from a testing version, the card is not detected. Do you know if there will soon be a version (stable or testing) with a client that will support both the Optiplex 360 and 380?
