February 21, 200521 yr 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!
February 22, 200521 yr 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?
February 22, 200521 yr 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!
February 23, 200521 yr 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.
February 23, 200521 yr Maybe a solution could be to automate the execution of the Network Setup Wizard, after finishing the Windows installation. Is this possible? Carlos
February 23, 200521 yr 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
February 24, 200521 yr Maybe a solution could be to automate the execution of the Network Setup Wizard, after finishing the Windows installation. 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.
February 24, 200521 yr Author 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?
February 24, 200521 yr 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.
February 24, 200521 yr Author 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!
February 27, 200521 yr Author 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
