Ipconfig error in WinPE


Blair

Recommended Posts

I'm using WinPE and having an unusual problem with an IBM Intellistation Z Pro 6221-38a. When I run ipconfig in WinPE I get the error message...

Windows IP Configuration

An Internal error occurred: The system cannot find the file specified.

Additional Information: Unable to open registry key for tcpip

Has anyone had encountered this error before?

Many thanks, Blair

I think that I may have gotten something similar to that when I was running my testing scenarios... I was using the most up-to-date drivers for a particular nic, and it just wouldn't work...

So i suggest you check the drivers, make sure there aren't any registry things that need to be added for the drivers to work.

Thanks for your help guys. I worked out the problem with the box in question with it having another 3com nic installed which actually had a broadcom chipset on it. Once I removed this from the system all was well.

one handy way to figure out if WinPE has installed your nic is to run:

NETCFG -SA

from the cmd prompt. This will give you the PNP ID's and friendly description of any NICs that have been installed. You can also run

NETCFG -SN

to see what protocols have been bound, etc.
