(I cant get into boot from etherent menu??, card is in slot 0, have tried various DIL setings?...On is toward the HDD , Off towards the MASSIVE heat sink. I am 1 = ON 2,3,4 = OFF. Is this correct to force a load from ETH?)

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have PC Installer set to Alize & CS-2 and it makes no difference!!!! Am also using crossover cable direct to laptop and static address of 192.168.45.69 CS-2 is .70.

You should type ^B and immediately followed by ^I to get the boot menu on the CS HD.

Then select boot from Ethernet. You should be choosing Alize and the country, along with direct cable if you are plugged into the PBX.

Hey Joel,

I Type Ctrl B and before i get to type Ctrl I it goes this way:
