Hello,

I would like to get the newtork PXE boot for this computer. I updated the BIOS and I still can't get it. When I go into the BIOS setup, it says no network boot device is installed. How can I get this to work.

 

Thanks in advances,

josht1

That solution did not work. However when I was navigating in the BIOS, in the advanced tab, I was able to select "Onboard LAN Boot ROM". Then I pressed F10 to save and restart my computer. The first time, pressing F12 did not work. So, I restarted and pressed ESC, selected the Network Group, and was able to boot from LAN. I want this my first option, so I restarted my computer, and pressed F1.  In the Boot tab, I navigated to Boot Priority and changed the boot. This is more complicated than my newer computers, but I am glad I can still use this old computer.
