Thanks Chris for your thoughts on this.. I think you have a point there about configuring dual/multiple nics in unattended setups. But what i'm trying to do is creating a WinPE boot CD which starts an unattended network setup. I managed to get TCP/IP working with a static ip address (in WinPE) but name resolution still doesn't work. Seems that DNS/WINS are only supported with DHCP. Anyway, i searched the forum for other options till i crossed the utility PENETFCG. With this you can manually set all IP options including DNS/WINS. BMF

Ok, ill have a look. Thanks

Hello, I'm new to all this. I'm trying to use WinPE to deploy unattended setup of Windows 2000 Server on HP Proliant Systems which has 2 NIC's. I've made a custom WinPE CD using the documentation provided with HP Scripting Toolkit. Everything goes fine, but i cannot change the TCP/IP settings. We use VLAN's and the "Server VLAN" where i'm trying to install Windows 2000 Server does not support DHCP. So when i use WinPE i get APIPA assigned ip address on both NIC's. How can i change it to an static IP address and can i use WINS or DNS? Can i configure both NIC's with different settings? Thank you
