Most network adapters work best with the Remoteboot service when using their default settings. However, if you need to modify these default settings in the Protocol.ini files, these files are located in <systemroot>\Rpl\Bblock\Netbeui\adapter\Protocol.ini, where adapter is the name of the particular network adapter. For example, a Windows 95 client can have conflicts with interrupt 3 (IRQ3) for the network adapter.
