Ghosting an image to a mapped drive

Hello,
I have studied the Ghost 2003 manual and searched the internet, but I am still stumped. I am trying to ghost the C drive from one computer to a partition on another drive in another computer on my home network. I can follow the manual's step up until I am suppose to "Add network drivers to the Ghost Boot Wizard" step. I have a choice of adding a Packet Driver or a NDIS2 Driver.
I can't figure out how to configure it. I have an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard that has onboard gigabit ethernet. The driver (I installed this from the MB CD) that is use by Windows XP is Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adaptor, Copper RJ-45, version 6.30.0.0. It is located in my C:/windows/system32/drivers/yukonwxp.sys
My problem is that I don't understand the Packet vs. NDIS2 Driver thing. I don't know how to give Ghost the information that it wants in order to be able to access the network card so that it can put the image across the network to the remote drive. Can someone educate me? Thanks.

Hello All,
I solved my own problem. I emailed the manufacturer and they promptly directed me to the NDIS2 driver on their web site. It worked perfectly! The company was Marvell.com and they have excellent customer service. Happy computing!
