Well what do you know, I dropped in a PCI-e gigabit card, used a usb drive to boot iPXE and it's installing. Now I just have to wait for it to install which is going to take forever since it's sending all traffic through my router (since I'm not chainloading through DHCP, I can't specify the direct address of the iSCSI server and my router only has a 100mbit card... so, it's gonna take a while. Here's to hoping that once it's installed, I'll be able to swap back to the onboard card and boot using it. I guess we will find out. Thanks for the tip!<div>
<br></div><div>And to prevent this in the future, I just ordered a pair of 1gb PCI cards for my router so that if I get stuck with something like this in the future, my speed won't be cut by 10x :D<br><div><br clear="all">

I can TRY. All I have is pci and pci-e expansion cards, which unforunately do not support PXE natively so I will have to use a USB jump drive. I will give it a shot though and see what happens and report back. Thanks for the tip.<div>

</div>The only other thing I can think of is a bad NIC driver.<br>
<br>
Can you try a different known good with iPXE NIC in the computer to<br>
isolate the existing NIC ?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
