Woody,

You can check to see if your networking is setup properly during the setup
process by starting a command prompt window. You can do this by pressing
Shift+F10 on the keyboard during minisetup. From there, run ipconfig to
determine whether or not Windows is installing the drivers for your adapter,
or getting an IP address at all.

If not, you may need to add drivers for your new NIC to your Windows image.

> We use sysprep to "minisetup" a new pc for a user and set it with a unique
machine name to add it to the domain.  We usually use laptops that use a
3com(3c90x) network card adapter, but we are now using laptops with a
Broadcom adapter.

the domain, sort of like it can't find the domain controller.  Is it because
of a "non-standard" net adapter?  If so, is there a way around this?  Can
drivers be loaded for the card, if this is the problem, for use by sysprep?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
