Last year out PDC took a dump. I promoted the BDC to PDC, and brought
the
old PDC home. After replacing a bad drive, I re-built the system (I
wanted
to do a new install, because we over-hauled it) I installed it as a BDC
over
an ISDN connection. The key was to make sure you have a WORKING WINS
server.
When installing networking, install TCP/IP and point to the SAME WINS
server
the PDC is pointing it. The BDC will find it, and you continue. I
don't
see any reason why this could be done with an NT working and RAS routing
for the install, and then move RAS to the NT server once installed.
