Hiya,

I have a sys-prepped Win 7 x64 ghost image that I can push out to machines that I deploy at work. I deploy the image to the computer(s) using Ghost Cast Server 11.5.1.2266.

We had some new HP machines arrive today, the model number of which is HP Elitedesk 800 G1 SFF. The PC's will boot from the ghost boot disk but they remain stuck with the IP address 127.0.0.1. This in turn means that they are unable to detect/connect to my multicast server to pull down the sys-prepped image.

I figured this must be due to ghost not having the driver for the NIC in the HP 800 G1. So I downloaded the necessary Win 7 x64 driver(s) and created a new ghost boot disk with the new driver added, however despite the addition of the new driver the PC remains stuck with the IP address 127.0.0.1.

Where am I going wrong?:confused:

Edit - The NIC that the PC's contain is the following Intel Ethernet Connection I217-LM
