Hi
I have a peer to peer network of three PCs with a router. I'm using
Ghost 2003 (latest build) to image/clone partitions from PC to PC. I
have created Ghost peer-peer boot disks for each PC and I can get the
TCP/IP connection up and running by booting the PCs with the floppies
(all using PC-Dos).
Two of my PCs have identical Realtek NICs and I get a 100 Mbits/s
connection between them with the imaging progressing at over 200MB/min,
which is acceptable.
However, the third PC, a laptop, has a NatSemi MacPhyter DP83815/83816
NIC, which cannot be changed for obvious reasons. I have created a Ghost
peer to peer disk by adding the appropriate NIC drivers when using the
boot disk wizard. It boots the laptop fine, and I get a TCP/IP
connection between the MacPhyter and one of the PCs with a Realtek NIC,
and I can image partitions etc ... Trouble is, the imaging goes at about
25MB/min - way slower than when both NICs are Realtek. I assume that the
NatSemi NIC is limiting itself to 10Mbits/sec. I have the latest NDIS
driver (v1.16) downloaded from the NatSemi website (the same one as
listed on Bart's site). I wonder if it could be a setting in my
Protocol.ini file? It reads:
[protman]
drivername=PROTMAN$
[pktdrv]
drivername=PKTDRV$
bindings=nic
intvec=0x60
chainvec=0x66
[nic]
drivername = DP83815$
TXQUEUE = 8
RXQUEUE = 8
MEDIATYPE = AUTO
Anything need changing there?
TIA
