need some help from any asus p5b (ideally the standard model but all p5b's have the same network card i think?) owners.
im trying to use a universal boot disk to ghost over the network, for some reason i cant get my network card detected, even though its on the supported list.
if you have a p5b and a floppy drive of some sort, can you goto www.netbootdisk.com, download the file from the downloads section, format a floppy drive in XP making sure you select "make this disk bootable" then once thats done, extract the file you downloaded, click "makedisk.bat" then once thats done reboot.
what happens is that my realtek 8168 network card a) doesnt get autodetected on the startup menu and b) hangs at "initializing tcp/ip over dhcp" and eventually times out. if i manually select Realtek 8168, it hangs the same as autodetecting.
i dont think its a dhcp issue as ive checked my router and its fine so im wondering if its a bios issue or if any other p5b owners get the same thing.
i've tried the boot disk on my laptop (intel gigabit card) and that detects it fine.
