Creating a Network Boot Package
The Network Boot Package provides network support for GhostCasting and TCP/IP peer-to-peer connections in the PC-DOS or MS-DOS PreOS. To create a boot package with network support:
1 On the first screen of the Ghost Boot Wizard, select PC-DOS or MS-DOS as the PreOS, then click Next.
If you select MS-DOS and you are using the Ghost Boot Wizard for the first time, you are prompted to insert an MS-DOS system disk that was formatted on a Windows 95/98 computer. The Ghost Boot Wizard then copies the MS- DOS system files from this disk.
2 Click “Network Boot Package,” then click Next.
3 Select the Universal Packet Driver, then click Next.
If your hardware does not support the Universal Packet Driver, select the option “Show all drivers” and select the driver for your NIC model, or click Add and point the Ghost Boot Wizard to the appropriate driver.
When you select the Universal Packet Driver, information is displayed about the options that must be enabled in the BIOS in order to use the driver. Review this information and click OK.
4 In the Ghost.exe field, type the correct path if the executable has been moved or you want to use a different version of Symantec Ghost.
The default path to ghost.exe appears in the Ghost.exe field. 5 In the Parameters field, type any required command-line parameters.
6 Click Next.
7 If you want to move control of USB devices from the BIOS to Ghost, enable the option “Override BIOS USB control.”
This option is unavailable if you have previously included USB support in the boot package.
Do not enable this option if you are creating a bootable USB device.
8 If you want to move control of FireWire devices from the BIOS to Ghost, enable the option “Override BIOS FireWire control.”
10 Perform one of the following:
– Select “DHCP will assign the IP settings” if your network contains a DHCP server.
– Select “The IP settings will be statically defined” and complete the fields below this option if your network does not contain a DHCP server. If you create more than one boot package, the static IP address incrementally increases as each boot package is created.
11 Set the Router Hops option to the desired value.
This option specifies how many routers the client searches across when attempting to find the multicast server. The default value of 16 allows Ghost to find the server as long as it is not more than 16 router hops away. This is sufficient for most networks.
12 Click Next.
13 Select a destination for the boot package, then click Next.
14 Specify any additional files you want to include in the boot package, then click Next.
15 Review the boot package details, then click Next to create the boot package.
16 After the boot package is complete, click Finish to close the Ghost Boot Wizard, or click Start Again to return to the main Ghost Boot Wizard window.
Creating a Drive Mapping Boot Package
The Drive Mapping Boot Package maps a drive letter to a shared resource on a network server. This drive mapping lets you access a network drive from the DOS version of Ghost.
You can choose to include Ghost.exe in the boot package. If you do not include Ghost.exe, you must run Ghost from the network drive. If you include
Ghost.exe in the boot package, you cannot create a boot package on a floppy
disk set. You can save the package to a USB flash drive or an to an ISO image.
Note: A Drive Mapping Boot Package supports NDIS drivers but does not support
using packet drivers. If you want to run Ghost.exe with network support and
you want to use packet drivers, create a Network Boot Package.
Note: If you do not run Ghost.exe from the A: drive, you must reset the
environment variable WATTCP to provide the location of the Wattcp.cfg file.
To create a boot package that supports mapping network drives:
1 On the first screen of the Ghost Boot Wizard, select PC-DOS or MS-DOS as the PreOS, then click Next.
If you select MS-DOS and you are using the Ghost Boot Wizard for the first time, you are prompted to insert an MS-DOS system disk that was formatted on a Windows 95/98 computer. The Ghost Boot Wizard then copies the MS- DOS system files from this disk.

Also, if you choose MS-DOS, you must click Get MS Client and point the Ghost Boot Wizard to your MS client files. If MS-DOS client files are not installed on your system, you need to manually create a client disk. For instructions on how to do this, see:

http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/mba.htm
– In the driver list, select or add a network driver, and then click Next.

10 Click Next.
11 In the Client Computer Name field, type the name of the client computer. This specifies the name of the computer after it starts from the package and does not have to be the same name given to the computer in Windows. If you create more than one package, a number is added to the computer name so that the names for subsequent packages are unique.
12 In the User Name field, type the user name that the boot package will use to log on to the network.
This user must exist on the network and have sufficient access rights to the mapped network drive, files, and directories that you want to use.
13 In the Domain or Workgroup field, type the domain or workgroup to which the user belongs.
14 From the Drive Letter drop-down list, select a drive letter to access a network share through a mapped drive.
Select a drive letter greater than any existing drive letter. If you want to prevent the boot package from mapping a drive when the computer starts, click None.

Configuring Windows 2003 Servers to Support the Ghost Drive Mapping Boot Package
If you intend to use a Ghost Drive Mapping Boot Package to map to a share on a Windows 2003 server, you must first configure several settings on the Windows 2003 server. If you do not configure these settings, you will receive the error message, “Access Denied,” when the DOS mapping client attempts to map to the share.
The settings you must configure depend on whether or not the Windows 2003 server is a domain controller.
To change settings on a Windows 2003 domain controller:
1 On the Windows taskbar, select Start—>Programs—>Administrative Tools —>Domain Controller Security Policy.
2 Select Security Settings—>Local Policies—>Security Options.
3 Navigate to “Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level” and change the setting from “Send NTLM response only” to “Send LM & NTLM responses.”
4 4 Click OK.
5 Navigate to “Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)” and change the setting from Enabled to Disabled.
6 Click OK.
7 Reboot the Windows 2003 server.

1 On the Windows taskbar, select Start—>Programs—>Administrative Tools —>Local Security Policy.
2 Select Security Settings—>Local Policies—>Security Options.
3 Navigate to “Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level” and change the setting from “Send NTLM response only” to “Send LM & NTLM responses.”
4 Click OK.
5 Navigate to “Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)” and change the setting from Enabled to Disabled.
6 Click OK.
