New 3C509 Addressing Scheme Requires New Remoteboot Config

ID: Q139282

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51

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.
