rbfg.exe & NIC

[Scott]

This may be an dumb question, but I'm going to ask
anyway. When we try to start RIS from a boot disk made
with rbfg.exe, it comes back with, "error: could not find
a supported network card." Is there a newer version
available that will work? What do I have to do?
Thanks for any and all help.
