When I look at boot sequence on both the win 2000 and the dell 4600 they both only list floppy, CD and Hard drive for boot devices. There is no onboard nic to move to the top.... maybe I'm still missing something. Thanks for the input, I'll have to dig deeper. Is there any point in going to the dell site and updating BIOS?

I'm sure your BIOS is worded slightly differently but these are the 3 things you should set in BIOS. A) Onboard Devices, Enter Set Integrated NIC to ON w/PXE B) Boot Sequence Push the Onboard Network Controller to the top. C) Power Management Set Remote Wake Up ON w/boot to NIC Esc, Esc Save/Exit Scott Scott Siri wrote: one is windows 2000 of which there are 15-20 in the building still. The other is a dell dimension 4600 looks to be about 6 years old by the service tag. We have a lot that are this vintage in our building....are we out of luck? I saw a PIX BIS setting in the BIOS of the 4600, but that was it. I don't know what BIS is, but I set it to accept.

Some machines are PXE capable but have it disabled in the BIOS when you buy them. You lose A LOT of the power of FOG if you don’t PXE boot.

I checked the wiki, but didn't see mention of the following....of the three computers I've checked in our building only one had a PXE option. I see that there are disk booting options for PXE out there, but do you have some you suggest or perhaps a different direction around old computers with no PXE? Also the one that did have the PXE option came back with an error when I went to boot and run a memory test. "PXE-E11 ARP Timeout" There was more, but it dissappeared too quick. I think I have the FOG network settings right, but now I wonder. ARP is a router protocol? I aimed FOG at the same router that is in DHCP and is dished out to all our clients.
