durex Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Not sure what kind of info you need from me, but after running my UA install, I cant access other pcs over my network unless I run the 'Network Setup Wizard' 1st. Ive tested and verified this a few times.Any ideas?Thanks!
gtaylor Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 You haven't really given us a whole lot to go on.What version of Windows XP? (Home or Professional)What type of network (home or corporate, workgroup or domain)?Is your network card being detected correctly during setup?What entries have you made in your answer file to configure the network?
prathapml Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 durex, yes that's right.It happens when OOBE is disabled (that is, when unattendswitch=yes).

No way to get around it?Thanks for the replies!
prathapml Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 So youre saying everyone who does a UA install experiences this?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Certainly not.Rather, everyone who sets that specific line to disable OOBE first-run.
cbohorqu Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Maybe a solution could be to automate the execution of the Network Setup Wizard, after finishing the Windows installation. Is this possible? Carlos
glent Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Im having a similar problem, with a network between my xbox and my PC ,after every reboot i have to rerun the wizard to aceess the internt on my Xboxalso sp2 professional

Is this possible? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Actually its a good idea and I even know the command-line to call it. But it has to finish silently without needing input from us - that's what I dunno how it can happen unattended.
durex Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 Well I could alawys write a VBS script to simulate the keystrokes if I knew how to call the actual wizard... how bout that command?
prathapml Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 how to call the actual wizard... <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Method 1:Just run "netsetup.exe" to start the non-native wizard (the one that gets normally run from XP disc).Method 2:Run the native wizard in true style - rundll32 arguments.
durex Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 Well.. Im hoping that this method will work after I get some answers to questions I posted there... This looks to be exactly what Im looking to do without needing to run the wizard at all!Thanks prathapml!
durex Posted February 27, 2005 Author Posted February 27, 2005 Well, I havent been able to get the method working outlined in that other thread.. so in the meantime, I wrote a VBScript which launches the Network Setup Wizard, steps through it screen by screen, leaving the defaults on pretty much every one. It then turns the firewall off as the wizard turns it on for some dumb reason.Dim FSO, WshShellSet FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")WshShell.Run ("rundll32 hnetwiz.dll HomeNetWizardRunDll")Do until WshShell.AppActivate ("Network Setup Wizard") WScript.Sleep 2000Loop' Hit N for Next at Welcome WizardWshShell.SendKeys "%N"WScript.Sleep 500' Hit N for Next at Before you continue...WshShell.SendKeys "%N"WScript.Sleep 500' Hit N for Next at Select connection methodWshShell.SendKeys "%N"WScript.Sleep 500' Hit N for Next at Computer DescriptionWshShell.SendKeys "%N"WScript.Sleep 500' Hit N for Next for Network nameWshShell.SendKeys "%N"WScript.Sleep 5000' Hit N for Next for File and printer sharingWshShell.SendKeys "%N"WScript.Sleep 500' Hit N for Next for Ready to apply network settingsWshShell.SendKeys "%N"WScript.Sleep 5000' Hit J for Just finish the wizard, then N for nextWshShell.SendKeys "%J"WScript.Sleep 500WshShell.SendKeys "%N"WScript.Sleep 500' Hit Enter to finish wizardWshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"WScript.Sleep 2000'Turn off FirewallWshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\EnableFirewall", 0, "REG_DWORD"WScript.Quit
