<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi, all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My client machine is Acer TravelMate 3000 which already
got a Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet. I can sanboot windows xp successfully via this
Gigabit ethernet port. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Now, I got an "Argon 10/100MB USB Fast Ethernet Adapter
with PXE" in my hand. It is an USB interface NIC. I want to use it to sanboot
windows xp.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Its driver and PXE support were loaded by FDD. To let it
works in BIOS, I have to set USB-FDD as first boot priority.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>When I used gpxe, it seemed can find out the root path,
but the screen hanged at "Registerd as BIOS drive 0x80/Booting from BIOS drive
0x80".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Then I tried to use ipxe. But it seemed to hang even
earlier at DHCP phase. The screen hanged at "Connection time out
(http://ipxe.org/4c106035)".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I used wireshark to capture the trace of both fail cases and
attached it inside. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Could anyone give me some suggestion about this
issue? Thanks in advance!</FONT></DIV>
