Can a wireless network do network boot? Regard Reece M

YES! Good question. My understanding is to network boot you need either a PXE NIC or Wake-on LAN facility or maybe MSDOS Network Client 3.0 to handle the TCP/IP. NWC3.0 http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/dosclien.htm I have looked into Wireless Networking under MSDOS and the WiFi cards which are MSDOS compatible: http://www.proxim.com/support/all/orinoco/software/dl2002_orinoco_client_74_dos.html These do not have NDIS2 drivers which is a requirement of NWC3.0. Only Packet Drivers which are usually used in conjunction with WATTCP: http://www.smashco.com/wattcp.asp Though you will need a ISA/PCI Adaptor Card and C&SS Software: http://www.synchrotech.com/products/card-rw_03.html http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/adapter/wlan.php http://www.tssc.de The only feasible solution maybe is to have an Ethernet to WiFi adapter therefore as far as the NIC is concerned it is on a standard LAN. http://tinyurl.com/3qlhj http://tinyurl.com/54ds4 http://www.netgear.com/products/details/ME101.php?view=

The other solution is to use Wake-on-lan, if the PC BIOS supports, PCI Wi-Fi cards which support this function are available.

My bios only has wake on lan, but it does not have wake on wifi or stuffs like that. So I guess that I only can do lan network boot.

PCI WiFi Cards do support Wake-on-lan see: http://www.proxim.com/products/wifi/client/802.11b_pci/index.html
