wae are still working on provideing lan support

i hv a dell PE2900 server with w2k3 using broadcom network. the mass storage works fine 1st time, no issues at all. however, with the LAN was a diff story. i downloaded the LAN pack, unzip it to partpe network folder, ran partpe builder n got all sort of error BUT wat i did was instead of copying n renaming the files i deleted the entire folder. i did this coz i only ned the broadcom folder which i think was the one labled BC. nevertheless, i only deleted those that prompted with errors, ran the bartpe builder n everything went thru like a gem. burn the to cd n booted my server and the damn thing did NOT work. i even copied all the drivers from the dell server which was nicely created n that didn't even work, went as far as downloading the network driver from dell website n that too didn't work....tell me wat am i doing wrong??? pls anyone, do me a fav b4 i breakdown.... cheers

have you tested with the current test ver?

Not yet.  I will test it out when I get back to work tomorrow.  Today is a holiday and I have it off.  I will hopefully report back tomorrow with some test results.

I started to do some real work on my house revamp planning and I"ll be busy with that for at least a year.
I had a good many things on my plate I had postponed (physically unable to do any of them) and my roster has changed dramatically a month ago.
You may not know this, but earlier this year I was house bound after chirgury, and I spent an awful lot of time on DriverPacks in those three months.
This project was my pastime while house bound.
And then I dropped off earth. I see that the other members of the team are releasing testpacks and with a little luck we'll have stable releases released this month. (I take a week's holidays next week. So.. that will give me some time to do things.

the latest testpack I know of is
DP_LAN_wnt5_x86-32_808a.7z

and many thanks for your encouragement

First off some people can be real jerks, but don't take that as being a representation of the people that use and love the product that you produce. I know that there are several projects out there that I love but sadly I haven't mentioned it to the authors... I'm starting to get better at encouraging them because I realize now how important it is to them to know that someone uses and values their hard work. Anyway I know that there is a lot of people out there who value the work that this team has immensely. I know that I sure do. You guys (and girls?) are AWESOME in my book! This is one of the best projects that I have ever come across. I'm surprised it hasn't seen even more popularity...

Back to my other thought, some people are just loud complaining jerks, and when you come across them just don't let it bother you because they are incurable. Sadly they are loud and sometime drown out the voices of the people who really do value this project. But try not to let it bother you because they aren't worth getting mad or depressed over.

I would be happy to help out in any way that I can. I'm not much of a programmer so I don't think I could help much there, but I'd be willing to do whatever.

This project has saved me much time and headache and allowed me to do away with floppies and that is a miracle...
Thanks guys!

Yesterday I was looking at the HWIDs spotlight readout for the current LAN. (This was a scan of DriverPack LAN only) and I compared the findings to what I had described in the NVIDIA LAN topic downloadble files.

I put ALL  original NVIDIA LAN drivers in a package, and had hoped people would help us puzzle together the best combo for all.
Yesterday, I think I saw two wrong combo choices.
The file is still there, the txt about two matching or singulars is a guide.
BUT..
When I worked through 22 driver sets, I probably made mistakes.
There is ONE guy complaining about LAN, but I am not going to say he is a lone crusader.

Jeff would not like better than the LAN set for disc install be perfect before he can code the rules, and one of the problems he faces is that there is huge 'official' lan overlap in official nvidia lan drivers, and ' "not to be taken lightly" ' they usually use same same name in systemfiles.
WE, we dream of getting a rules based install so we don't have to care (much) about which driver we add.
An update would be an update.

I challenge you all to look at LAN NVIDIA official set of drivers, and please, DO help us figure out why they need so much attention from team.
Oh, you can be a gifted watson and not be in our team, but I can tell you that I was a watson before I learned to be Dr. watson.
I am not Holmes.
