    I need help setting up a dell latitude e5500 to accept a bootable usb drive with ghost on it. I can not seem for the life of me to get the nic driver to work. I have followed these steps here: https://forums.symantec.com/syment/board/message?board.id=109&thread.id=16695

    "Download the drivers for the Intel cards from Intel, not Dell. On the left side, find Ethernet Components, Ethernet Controllers and then find the 82567 driver. Grab the DOS, XP and Vista Drivers.


    For the DOS driver, I don't think I had to update the actual e1000.dos file, but you do need to add the PCI-TAG into the mcassist.cfg located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Ghost\Template\Intel Pro 1000. I added every tag from the .inf file I saw, redid my DOS boot USB Key and it worked fine. The exact PCI-TAG for the newer Latitude/Precision series is 8086-10F5. Whatever you name it in the mcassist.cfg is what will show up when your DOS boot disk loads the driver so name it accordingly."

    I have done that except i can not get it to recognize the nic driver. I can get it booted into the gui but it will not give the peer to peer or netowork options to send the image over, only local. I can get it to work with all other computers, just not this line.

    If anyone has experience with this please help before i have ripped out my last hair here at work.

    edit: i should correct this...its not ghost, its solution suite...if that makes a difference.

    Oh and i also came to realize that ours has a broadcom chipset rather than the intel one like he mentions...but i still cannot get it to work.
