We have our PC install batch files automated except for one item: We currently have to tell the batch file which type of NIC card the machine has (we have four types). We have several utilities, like SYSCHK, which can write the NIC address (along with other info) to a file. However, I don't know how to read a file in DOS or if there's a nifty way to set a variable to a NIC address. Of course, we would then test it to see who the manufacturer is. Does anyone have any good ideas?
