And this one works!

Thanx!

Anyway - perhaps a little example on the homepage would help?!

It's a little hard to get, though it's part of the Intel test
implementation. All downloads/links concerning PXE have been
removed from Intel's homepage ...

I found it by searching for "pxe20-pdk.exe" in google on some ftp
server.
This contains a NT4 PXE server implementation (which I never got to work)
an two tools to create a UNDI Test disk and an API test disk.

Together with the server part they should be able to run a complete (???)
test (including logging of all sent packages, etc) ... didn't get that to
work either ...

If you don't want to go through all that ftp search and install stuff, let
me know and I'll send you the 2 disk images.
