It sounds like you are using the DOS boot disk. Are you using the undis3c image? What kind of hardware are you installing to? In particular, what kind of network card is on that hardware?
I found that on HP DL320's with HP's tweaked Broadcom ethernet, that I ran into these problems. What it boils down to is that Broadcom's UNDI stack, well, sucks. I used the DOS NDIS2 drivers from HP and made my own DOS boot with those instead of the 3com undisc driver. Of note, is that Intel 1000MT NICs using UNDI are still almost twice as fast as HP/Broadcom using drivers specific for the card. -Shawn Tom van Leeuwen wrote: >Hi guys, > >I have installed 'unattended' according to the step-by-step guide. >I have copied a dutch WinXP SP2 image to the server which listens to the >name 'server'. >The server is running Linux (Fedora Core 4) and I have created a CNAME >'ntinstall' as the guide requires. >For some reason when I boot the CDROM it won't connect to 'ntinstall' >but it does to 'server'.
