DOS Network drivers for Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II NIC

[Migration User]

Hi,  I'm new to the forum, but have been using Ghost with floppies & USB disks for years.  We just bought GSS and I am trying to learn to use Ghost Console to manage Dell T5400 workstations & Dell 2950 III servers over the network.  Yesterday I upgraded to 2.5 from 2.0  Prior to that I *could* get GSS to create images of my workstations, but the servers would never boot into Ghost (always rebooted, but Ghost would not start up)  There was an error message: "10030 unable to establish contact with session <servernamePull##>". I was tracking that down and installed 2.5 in the hope that my server issues would go away.  Now I cannot get the server to respond at all.  The error message I get now tells me that the right drivers could not be found for the Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE.  I have tried all the drivers for Broadcom that are supplied in the release, I tried the Universal Packet Driver v2.0 & Universal Packet Driver v2.0 [irqcfg], as well as some DOS NDIS drivers I pulled from the Broadcom web site.  The Network Settings when using Virtual Partition section of the Client tab tells me that it sees the 2950 III as "Unknown PCI identifiers: 32902:4222 32902:4222".  It should be noted that I do have a dual-port Intel PRO/1000 PF fibre NIC installed in the system, but the adapters are disabled.  I have seen the Console Client Version get upgraded from 11.0.2.1573 to 11.5.0.2113.  I have uninstalled, removed and added the server back too - no difference.  What am I doing wrong?

Since you are using GSS 2.5, have you tried using Winpe as your preos that is being used as default for all clients? Since you dont mention where your problem actually happens I presume you are saying "when I execute task and client machine goes to DOS preos and then cannot contact server".

If you are getting 'drivers cannot be found' then perhaps you were trying to execute task under Winpe preos? If it tells you that drivers cannot be found for Winpe and you have tried drivers that comes with GSS, then go to manufacturing website, select your driver for Vista, download it and import it to GSS driver database using Ghost boot wizard (Select Winpe->Edit->Eidt). Once imported, add it to Winpe of your choice and compile it. It will finish in a few minutes and your Winpe is ready to be used.

Cheers.
