IPX on WinPE 2004

[gadget]

Ok, lets start this again as the project here has come alive again.

On WinPE 2004, not Barts as we are not allowed to use this.

I have the netware client loaded, the login script maps drives correctly over ipx. problem is I cannot manually map a drive outside the login script..

Here is my startnet.cmd

regsvr32 /s netcfgx.dll

factory -minint

rem factory -winpe

netcfg -v -winpe

net start dhcp

net start nla

netcfg -v -c c -i NW_NWFS

netcfg -v -l %SystemRoot%\inf\netnwlnk.inf -c p -i ms_nwipx

net start nicm

net start NetwareWorkstation

regedit /s setnwvar.reg

LOGINW32

Oh why can I not map the drive using

net use t: \\server\share

?

I could map the drives within the login script but the mapped drive varies too much so I would prefere to do this from the command line.

I don't care at all about ip as I am connecting to is netware 5 ipx boxes so that can be stripped out.

Also, I may need to run /wmi and /pnp and I also run without a firewall so where does the factory -winpe affect networking et all?

Thanks...

Here is the issue.... You are not starting the a service you need, the lmhosts.

Just add:

net start lmhosts

to your script and it will work great!!!!

Good luck and let me know how it goes...
