    [ Merry X-Mas everyone,

    I have some spare computers at my work i want to re-image them from the server using the F12 boot to network. Usually you just need to jump into the bios and set the network card to boot from first in the boot list. For some reason this option is not on these few computers.
    They have working Nics, boot fine to the network.
    Compac's P11 and P111's P500
    Any suggestions?

    Look in the Security or Device section of the BIOS setup and see if you can find and enable Network Booting.

    Then my next move would be to update the bios if there is such available. Perhaps a flash, maybe a chip. Some bios versions don't support Network booting. :(
