Default RIS NIC Driver Help!

We just got a bunch of Dell Dimension 4550's. I set one up and sent the
image to my RIS server. When I try to install it out on my clients I am able
to sign in to the RIS and pick the OS image. However I get an error stating:

"The operating system image you have selected does not contain the necessary
drivers fro you network adapter. Try selecting a different operating system
image. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator

Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit."

I tried to put the oem nic drivers into the $oem$ dir and I also edited the
*.sif file for the install but still no luck.

Anyone have any ideas what I can do?

They are 2.5G P4's
Integrated Intel nic's on the mobo.
I have the driver cd's just can't seem to get it working.

Thanks for any help
Ryan

You have to install Win2k SP3 AND also you have to extract SETUPLDR from the
SP3 archive and then rename it to NTLDR and copy that into the TEMPLATES
folder of the RIS SIS. Overwrite the original NTLDR. This is not well
documented in Microsoft's RIS hotfix article.
