Intel Pro 1000 MT driver for PXE disk

[Mike]

I have a Dell GX270 with the Intel Pro 1000 MT network
adapter. Did Microsoft release a new version of RBFG.exe
that supports that adapter? If so where can I download it.

Thanks Mike

The latest RBFG can be downloaded from here and we cannot add Gigabit
adapters to
it:
<http://www.argontechnology.com/rbfg/>
But you should be able to enable PXE on that Gigabit Adapter by booting to
DOS and
navigating to the CD that goes with the Intel Card. There is an utility
called
IBAUTIL on the Intel CD that can get in APPS\BOOTAGNT.
Boot to DOS and run the following command:
IBAUTIL -ALL -FE -PXE
This will enable PXE on the 1000MT NIC.

Thanks for the tips yet I still get the adapter is not
supported when I try and boot up.
It appears that PXE is enabled. Yet being this nic is
intergrated onto the motherboard, could be the reason
behind why I am having troubles.

Mike, Argon Technology offers a PXE on Disk for the Intel Gigabit family of adapters.

Visit http://www.bootroms.com/catalog/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/6/products_id/113

PXE on Disk offers the same functionality as the RIS Remote Boot floppy.

Adding to this problem. I went to argon technology and
bought their disk. I uploaded the image to the server
fine. When I tried to download the image to another
computer with this same NIC, I got the error message"The
Operating System Image that you selected does not contain
the necessary drivers for your network adapter. I found
knowledge base 330074, 247983, and 246184 articles. I
followed their instructions, but never made it past the
error. Thanks.

Here's another article on this topic posted by the folks @ Intel - http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-000023-prd38.htm

Let me know if this works.

I tried it, but to no avail. I have been working on this
for weeks. I am going to buy a supported NIC and just
install and replace it when I need to until I get Server
2003. If anybody wants to talk me out of it, go ahead any
try, Thanks for your help.

If you are willing to ditch RIS, there is a free system which supports
all of Intel's NICs out of the box:

Well, almost. You will have to copy Intel's drivers to somewhere
under i386\$oem$\$1. But that's all. Once you do that, the system
will auto-detect them while generating OemPnPDriversPath.
