Adding NDIS2 drivers to the Ghost Boot Wizard

NDIS2 drivers work with the Microsoft Network Client. Symantec Ghost also uses them for GhostCasting. NDIS2 drivers are DOS drivers that load from the DOS Config.sys file.

To add an NDIS2 driver to the Ghost Boot Wizard

1.

In the Template Properties window, on the NDIS Driver tab, click Setup.

2.

Locate the NDIS2 driver.

In many cases Ghost can automatically determine the other parameters for your network.When locating the directory that contains the driver, look for a folder named Ndis or Ndis2. If you have a choice between DOS and OS2 folders, select DOS. The driver date lets you check whether you have the latest driver.

3.

Click OK.

If the setup fails to complete the driver properties, then complete the following fields manually:

The internal name of the driver is used when generating the Protocol.ini configuration file and must always end with a $ character. Read the sample Protocol.ini file in the same directory as the driver itself to find the driver name.

If you use Setup to automatically fill in this page, you will see the parameters that you need to adjust. For the majority of plug-and-play cards, all of the parameters are optional, so you can either accept the defaults or leave this field empty.

4.

In the Mode drop-down list select Select Automatically to let Ghost determine the best multicasting mode based on the information in the NDIS driver.

If the Select Automatically mode does not work, try Receive Mode 5. If that does not work, try Receive Mode 6.

5.

Click OK to continue creating the boot package.

You can also to add additional drivers or programs or customize the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files of the resulting boot package. If you edit Autoexec.bat ensure that the same changes are made to Autoexec.bat on both disks in the floppy disk set.
