Any possibility of duplicate MAC addresses? I know its not supposed to happen, but duplicate MACs have happened here.

When I use Ghost to set up a new workstation over the network from an existing image, I find that two (and always the same two) workstations get booted off the network. They lose their connections NOT when the box to be ghosted makes its connection to the multicast server, but as soon as the image transfer begins. The image transfer continues on its merry way. All network settings for all production workstations are configured identically. The really galling thing is that this happens about 80% of the time! We have W2K servers and workstations all around, running in mixed mode. (I got rid of NT4 servers a short while ago, but haven't yet made the switch to native mode.) All production workstations are assigned IP addresses through DHCP. I have experienced this problem when the box to be ghosted is either assigned a dynamic or a static IP. Rebooting the affected workstations solves the problem, but only when the image transfer is completed or interrupted i.e. when the image transfer is explicitly not occurring. If rebooted during image transfer, the workstations just don't grab a connection. Any thoughts, folks? The two boxes that get kicked off are mine and the accounting manager's. This is a bad thing, especially around payday. :-) Regards, Paul Pawluk Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (512) 899-4907 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ԿԬ v Pursuant to US Code, Title 47, Chapter 5, Subchapter II, �227, Any and all nonsolicited commercial E-mail sent to this address is subject to a download and archival fee in the amount of $500.00 US.
