Some cards will have visible boot roms or sockets for boot roms, others may have a boot rom embedded in them. Tom gave me a load of bootable cards for the Lighthouse project which are 3Com cards. In cases where the machine doesn't have a bootable network card, it is possible to use something like Etherboot (or gPXE as I believe it is known now) to boot from the network.Hi How can i tell if a network card is able to boot off a network,? i know some have sockets for boot roms, but do these roms come as standard on cards now. just thought as the server has arrived for the lighthouse nad they have more clients, some monitors, etc, so i guess its a case of booting the computers over the network, do i set it to do this in the bios, if that is the case i assume if the bios option is there, then the boot rom thing to do it, is there too. Don't really understand all this fully. i have instructions on how to install the server bit though. Paul
