Hello Todd,

Check yoor policy about SMB signing. IF it is enabled you must disable it to use DOS boot disks. But SMB is designed for security reason.

I've seen this question asked before, but frankly not one of the posts
ever gave an answer that actually fixes the problem...

I have need to access both Windows XP SP-2 workstations, and a Windows
2003 SP-1 server via a dos network boot disk.

Now I have already done this by using the IPX protocol. It works very
well, and I can access both XP and 2003 server this way.

Problem is, I need to redo the boot disk using IP.

But when I create the disk via IP, I am unable to access XP and 2003
machines. I can access Windows 2000 machines no problem.

In the some of the messages I've seen posted here, there was mention
of security settings for 2003 that need to be changed, but with one
exception, nobody has mentioned access to XP before.

One person (called Oli) spoke of a setting in 2003 SP-1 policy, that
needed to be set (Network Security: LAN Manager authenticaion level),
and said it needed to be set to the same setting as XP to work (the
setting in XP is "Send LM & NTLM responses", however, that setting as
he stated being the default in XP does NOT allow DOS clients access.

So I fail to see how changing this in 2003 SP-1 will work...

So if anybody has any suggestions as to what I can do for both XP SP-2
and 2003 Sp-1 servers to allow DOS clients access via TCPIP, please
send a reply.

Thanks!

P.S. Why does this work via the IPX protocol without the need to
change any settings?
