I am trying to pxe boot an old m200. I did it just fine a couple years ago after a week of trying. well I need to do it again and am getting hung up. the instructions I am using are here http://blog.ryantadams.com/2008/02/01/how-to-boot-from-the-network-pxe-boot-with-tftp-and-windows-pe/. the problem I have is I get to the point where on my m200 I type in use net y:\\192.168.1.5\cd but I get an error the network name cannot be found.

my other pc which I have the tfp prog on is running xp sp3 and I am trying to boot windows install from my cd drive. this is how I did it before. my drive is set to share and I have the hand under the folder symbol to indicate it is set to share.

what I am I missing? I seem to recall having to create a file before but these instructions don't say anything and I had help on a forum last time as well. it sucks the forum I was on last time seems to have closed down.

also I am unable to copy my cd to the hard drvie for some reason one of the lang files wont copy but I can use the disk to do a full install of windows from the drive. no clue why but just an fyi it is not an option to make it work

I give up on thiswhole pxe thing. I know you are supposed to be able to use an sd card. so anyone know how to make an sd insto abootable xp install. I managed to fix the problem with the files I have on my orig install cd.
