    TCP/IP DOS connection

    I have a Dell Optiplex GX755, with a Intel 82566DM-2 Gigabit. I am trying to connect to a network share to ghost a image. I currently can connect using DOS with NETBEUI. This works great, however I am using my workstation to save images. I don't want to install NETBEUI on the server where I want to save the images in the long term. Was wondering anyone can help with this?
    Thanks in advance.

      Sure, but I'm not sure what your issue is... are you looking for a better ghosting image? A better connection to the server where the images are stored? More hardware space?

          Currently I am connecting to my workstation in DOS. NETBEUI binds to the card and I can use the "net use" command to map a drive to my workstation. I then use ghost to image that workstation to my workstation. I need to know which files are needed to be modified to allow TCP/IP to bind to the Intel 82566DM-2 network card in my Optiplex GX755. In addition to the files needed to be changed I also don't know what to add to those files to allow for a TCP/IP connection.

              I'm a bit confused by your setup - you are saying your card doesn't allow TCP/IP?

              You continually reference 'Ghost.' Is this the Symantec application? If so, you just need the drivers on a boot floppy, there's no need to get into how the connection is made - it should do it for you.

                  I have a USB flash drive. I have made it bootable. I then boot to a command line, which I can connect to a server using NETBEUI protocol. I have access to the network shares and can map drives from a command line. I can use ghost from the command line, which is really not relevant. I just want to know how to make the TCP/IP protocol bind to my network card, so that I can take NETBEUI off my computer.
