Here is More Info :
got a VAIO laptop (FXA-46) with NIC being realtek 8139, and PC with a NIC being a standard UNEX card. Other PC characteristics doesn t matter as everything runs under DOS
I found respective dos network driver on the web.
In the dos drivers, you got a protocol.ini file where you can define card network speed you gonna use
If i set up both card to 10 Mb, everything is working fine : i can save a image thru network : for info, you get speed set up feedback on dos start up screen and you can check of course this is running at this transfer speed a you know ghost file size and transfering time
If i set up both cards to 100 Mb, then no problem to start up both PC (I see they recognize a 100 Mb compatible network), but when starting the procedure under Ghost on both PC, slave machine will not connect with master....
I have been thru all Symantec help page and have been searching/scrolling newsgroup for one full day ! No similar problem found
Under windows, my network is working fine at 100 Mb, so this is no hardware problem.
So I am just looking for someone to tell me IT IS POSSIBLE with Ghost 2002 to save image thru network at 100 Mb to make sure this is not a Ghost bug..
(I did have confirmation this was working fine, but under Ghost Pro edition, not the 2002 one)
Any help is welcome,
Eddy
PS :
got Vaio with XP home ed (don t like it**) and a 20 Go drive with 10 for c: under FAT32 and 10 d: under NFTS, and I got ca 7 Go of data on C, I want to save an image from...
One solution would be to make a clean install, create an additional FAT32 partition, save image there and then transfer it to PC under windows, but I am not even sure I can reformat one part of the NFTS d: drive into in FAT 32 ???
**PS2 : I heard/read Sony makes it a shitty operation to "upgrade" to W2k due to some bloody proprietary driver compatibility problem.. I won't buy any Sony laptop again for that reason
PS3 : great stuff in your faq's
