Because of the diversity and complexity of RPL environments, we are unable to
provide brief instructions in this guide. Instead, see the file NTRPL.TXT on the MBA
Utility Disk. This file contains abbreviated instructions for those who are
experienced with MBA installation in NT server RPL environments. For more
detailed instructions, refer to information presented later in this chapter.

When things do not work, check these situations to resolve the most likely
problems:
Unknown Client NIC ID
If an “unknown client NIC ID” line appears within the NT Server Remoteboot
Manger console while attempting a PC boot, it indicates the PC’s prefix
(VendorName) is not defined. Use the following example to define the prefix. The
VendorName field is a unique six-digit value assigned to the NIC vendor; this
value is the most significant six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet address.
Even though it appears a valid VendorName exists for your NIC, it may be that
you have a newer NIC that had a different VendorName value. To correct this
problem, create a new remoteboot configuration or add the NIC to an existing
85
