Sorry - to be more clear.

Booting a laptop from a floppy so that I can map a share on a windows
2000 server. Then I can run ghost and perform a ghost backup of laptop
in question. Server is a domain controller.

Unfortunately, laptop does not support network boot.

Its a legacy system so we have to use windows 2000 - dont ask !!! :-)

This used to work ok. We 'ported' to a new server hardware with
different ethernet cards and now it doesnt work. Dont know why because
server setup should be identical.
