hello,
we want to use a software to distrbiute windows xp images in our
company.
This software can send a magic packet to a restart pc and we need
network boot to send the image.
The problem is that when we use wake on lan we can't use network boot
on this client pc despite the boot settings (first: network boot) in
the bios.
We've upgraded bios to the newest version. But it's still not working.
This may be normal as I don't know if I can use network boot with wake
on lan.
I need your help in order to solve this problem
thank you
Ermanu
 
Hi
This level of configuration is done before Windows.
Your best bet is to contact the manufactures of the hardware. Some (like
Intel) provides special utilities. Others might need updates to the
computer's Motherboard BIOS, or different hardware.
