New 3C509 Addressing Scheme Requires New Remoteboot Config (139282)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q139282
SYMPTOMS
The new 3COM 3C509 adapter has a new addressing scheme that requires you
create a new remoteboot configuration. The older 3C509 adapters have a
VendorName=00608C, and the newer 3C509 adapters have a VendorName=0020AF.
If you try to boot the newer adapter with the old configuration, the
following error message appears:
unknown client network adapter id
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, create a new remoteboot configuration as outlined
in the Windows NT Server Installation Guide on pages 139-140. Follow the
documented steps and add the new 6-digit prefix 0020AF to the VendorName
parameter.
