T60 - Boot Agent and PXE-E05 errors. Help!

[ajkula66]

Any other ideas? Do I need to replace the system board to get Ethernet?

Try booting a "live" Linux USB/CD/whatever and check whether you have LAN connectivity there. The cable should be plugged in the port while you're booting the system.

Good luck and let us know.

Have you tried disabling the Ethernet Boot ROM in BIOS setup?

This simple solution to PXE-E05 error worked on my T-60 with Win 7 SP1 (x64) BIOS v 2.27 laptop:

1. Press F1 to access BIOS during the ThinkPad splash screen.
2. Select CONFIG > Network > Internal Network Option
3. Select Disable and F10 to Save and Exit.
