Hi all,

Anybody had any luck using these two? I'm having problems getting the
3c940 NIC to work when I try and launch into peer-to-peer mode from
either a bootdisk or a virtual partition.

I found the NDIS2 driver on the Asus website, but no info on how to set
it up with Ghost 2003. And I don't really know anything about NDIS2
drivers anyway. Might be quicker to just chuck in another NIC, but....

So - any info handy!

Cheers!
 
Ghost uses a NDIS to Packet Driver shim since Ghost.exe uses WATTCP and is packet Driver
compliant.

Have you checked if there is a packet driver for this NIC ?

I have the A7V600 also and I have it connected to 4 other PCs and my laptop
every now and then and I have no problems at all with general networking.
I think your problem lies with Ghost and not with your A7V600.
 
I've had no luck either yet.
Got the NDIS2 driver (Asus site) and it loads ie finds the Gigabit NIC but
fails with a TCP/IP error before ghost starts loading ?

I got the NIC driver to load, but it won't bind. Gives me error 36:
Unable to bind. Don't know anything about this stack, so I don't know
whether something in my PROTOCOL.INI is wrong - here it is;

[protman]
drivername=PROTMAN$

[pktdrv]
drivername=PKTDRV$
bindings=nic
intvec=0x60
chainvec=0x66

[nic]
drivername = EL90X$
SLOTENABLE

Does that bindings=nic bit look right?

To get this far I made a boot floppy from Ghost on another box, with the
3c920 driver supplied with Ghost (or maybe added by LiveUpdate), and
then replaced the EL90X.DOS with the one from Asus, and added the
SLOTENABLE switch to the NIC section of PROTOCOL.INI, and modified the
driver name from EL90$ TO EL90X$ - dunno why this wasn't already the
same......

Any ideas anybody?
Cheers!
