Ghost boot disk won't get IP from DHCP server

I'm trying to clone some disks over a network. I tried connecting the machine to be imaged to the a hub and another machine with ICS running on it (I confirmed it was acting as a DHCP server). I also tried connecting the machine to be imaged to a network with a NT 4 DHCP server running on it.

In both cases when the boot disk loads up it just times out when waiting for the DHCP server, I get error message of:
1. NTS$NTST2: IP Address cannot be obtained
2. NET 5733: The protocol manager has reported an incomplete binding
3. The REQUESTER service is not started. Then when I say load it I get the following error message:
LAN adapter 1 reported error 54: Network is busy.


I'm using Linksys PCI network cards in the machines (LNE100TX).
I've trying maknig peer to peer disks and also mapping disks but both fail b/c of the dhcp problem.
 
I think your root cause is not the DHCP issue but rather the 5733 error. You either have a protocol installed that was bound to a MAC driver, and you didn't load the MAC driver. Or the protocoal may have tried to bind but the MAC driver had a problem (irq conflict, etc)

You need to trouble shoot that, once you resolve it everything else should fall into place.
