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.

PXE has been standard on machines for quite a while. How
old are the computers in question? 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.

thanks for the help guys!
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.
Thanks for all the help,
Scott

Yes, it is by default, you could off load that service to

machine, but we make it a tftp server by default.
