GX270 network problem - possible Ghost related
In the process of deploying a number of Optiplex GX270 to some labs. When I attempted to remotely install the Ghost virtual boot partition I noticed a couple of the machines wouldn't connect. Now Ghost did see these machines within the domain. I went to the machine and tested connectivity - they see the network, recieve DHCP, ping all around, get DNS, no problems. However, I can't see the machines from anywhere else. DNS seems to resolve the IP address but can't connect to it. Out of 40+ machines I've ghosted, only four are showing this problem. The rest of the machines worked perfectly.
Any ideas?

Thanks NordicL2..I am using Ghost Console. I was able to work around it by deleting the NIC driver on the client machine and letting Windows reinstall on reboot. After that it worked fine on all trouble machines. Possible driver problem?? I checked and they had the same driver, same BIOS, same everything...just a flakey load on some of the machines I guess. Anyhow..thanks for the feedback.

Allright, the 3.57 NDIS driver is here:
search for R79597.EXE at http://suppport.us.dell.com
fixes IRQ conflict between the onboard SATA and NIC controller.

Hi, using Ghost Console? A workaround is to use v 1.25 of the Intel NDIS driver or wait for version 3.57. Should be available soon.
