Hello,

Who knows a working sollution to add thirt party (intel pro 100 and pro 1000) nic-drivers to the textsetup of windows xp.

The textsetup doesn't recognize my onboard intel pro 1000 nic.

Who can help me?

marektyc,

try looking in the unattended section or on http://unattended.msfn.org

there is instructions on adding custom drivers in both those locations

allready did that. but somehow it didn't work

It works for my Intel E1000 Gigabit onboard NIC - just add the XP drivers to a folder under the $oem$\$1\Drivers sub-directory (mine is 002LAN), and have the OEMPreinstall=Yes and OEMDriversPath=Drivers\002LAN (among others) in winnt.sif.

I did what you've described but i get the following error:

a different operating system image. If the problem persists,

contact your system administrator.

Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.

My SIF file: in red you see the nic drivers i need to have in windows

Note: I also reloaded the BINL service on the ris server

I don't get it....

for the record this problem only occures on DELL precision workstation 360 with integrated intel pro 1000.

Your OEMPnPDrivers path may be too long- there is a limitation, I don't know what the specific # of characters it is.

I had the same problem w/ onboard nic. I added the nic (*.sys & *.cat) files to the i386 folder. That worked for me.

Wouldn't this topic better fit into the unattended section of this board?
