Broadcom undi: PX-2.1 V 14.0.8 driver free download when i'm switching on. Broadcom UNDI PXE-2.1 v10.0.9. The Broadcom PXE looks for a boot device. Apr 21, 2011 Free downloads & security; Education. Broadcom undi BOOTING PROBLEM! Broadcom UNDI, Pxe-2.1 (build 082) v 1.0.4 Intel base code. I own a Inspirion 5100 laptop. The OS is Window XP Professional edition. I believe its the latest Windows. I have read websites regarding this problem and have tried everything suggested. Everytime I boot the, I get the following message: Broadcom UNDI, Pxe-2.1 (build 082) v 1.0.4 Intel base code PXe-E61: mediatest failure, check cable PXE-MOF: Existing Broadcom Pxe rom Not found. I have tried going into the Bios section, ordering the boot sequence:, CD/dvd, Floopy drive, ONBOARD NCI or something like that (I don't know what this is NCI means). After trying that the laptop started fine. Then the next day, it was the same problem again. I then went into the Bios section and hit the default under the boot tab. This ordered the boot sequence as: floppy disc, cd/dvd, hard drive and NCI. I have several questions. Under the Main section in the Bios, it reads BIOS A06. I can't seem to hit anything in this section. Should I upgrade to a different BIOS- maybe A22 or A32? I also did a seagate diagnostic on the hard drive, the harddrive passed. Sometimes I hook up an external hd to the laptop. I also did a scan on an external WD 500gb hard drive, it also passed. I even took out the and putting it back in the laptop and nothing. The hard drive is hitachi_dk23ea-30. The PXE errors are because the system was attempting to boot from your network. This is a very unusual method of booting, and the error most likely was caused by a bad ordering of your boot devices. NIC (the correct spelling) means Network Interface Card. Setting the boot sequence to try the hard drive first worked, but the reason that this is not the default is because it will keep you from booting from a CD (if desired). That's why the default sequence is Floppy drive (if one is installed), CD drive, Hard drive, NIC. I would NOT update the BIOS. At least not until you get everything else sorted out. A failed BIOS update can render your computer inoperative.
