Re: WinPE over RIS and nVidia nics

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I did. As a matter of fact that works just great, but only if I boot
directy from cd. And that I don't want. :)

It's really just the RIS part I need to get working.

I received a reply from Microsoft today saying that they had the same issues
with the nVidia nics and that the issue is now in nVidia's hands. I was told
it would probably be a PXE BIOS related problem.

So I think we would just have to wait. I'm glad I got confirmation on the
issue though. It's amazing that there's so little information on this issue.
I was beginning to think I was the only one who had this issue. I spent hours
searching on the Net.
