Martin Zugec Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi, is it normal when detection of NIC is extremely slow (few minutes)?I tried it on few computers and same result, also in VirtualPC it is extremely lazy. I thought about using NetCard in Winbom.ini to define what NIC to detect, but isnt there any other solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 I am still trying to solve this problem The problem is not in detection - there is some problem with driver. I am trying it on VirtualPC, however it still hangs on Updating driver (bartpe.exe -v -minint). I just want to know:a.) is there ANYBODY using BartPE on VirtualPC?b.) is there anybody using BartPE networking?Please respond, I freezed on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Did you already try to make an INF-cache to speed things up a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yes, however infcache is just for faster inf processing. My problem is after inf files are processed during updating driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilou_Gateux Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Slow NIC detection with all brands or only with a specific model?I use BartPE with HP w/ Broadcom onboard, FSC w/ Intel 1000 onboard and NEC w/ VIA Rhine II onboard and don't have encountered slow detection...Do you use original WinPE factory.exe or "Bartpe network support plugin" for NIC detection?

Martin Zugec Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 I tried only on Virtual PC yet... I am using Bartpe Netowrk Support Plugin (PeNetCfg)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jachin Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I tried only on Virtual PC yet... I am using Bartpe Netowrk Support Plugin (PeNetCfg)...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I use BartPE in Virtual PC and Virtual Server on a weekly basis without any trouble at all. It is slightly slower than a physical machine but that is to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Could you please provide drivers you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls15000 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) I just added new broadcom gigabit drivers to my bart pe image to work with our new IBM desktops. After I added the driver, my old dell d400 will not grab an IP address until I renew it it and leave the configuration window open. The dell has a broadcom nic also, but something with the updated driver freakes it out. My old disks work great with intel pro 1000, old broadcom, intil pro 100, and a dlink driver. I use the old images on virtual PC all the time and it's really fast. no lag at all.I use xpsp2 for the source disk, if that makes a difference. The only pluins I use are the RpcSS so i an use diskpart, I have ghost8, adaware, a3 filemanagement and i think thats it.

Martin Zugec Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 Thx for reply, I dont use any plugin at all, except PENetCfg I included only driver for VPC, built on XPSP2... Could you please upload drivers for VPC? I tried one from DLink and one from Intel, but I encountered the same problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls15000 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I tried posting the drivers, but it wont let me. Something about my global limit. I just used standard XP drivers and put the inf, cat sys and dll needed files in 1 folder per driver. If you read the driver's inf file, it will tell yo uwhat files you need, the rest you can chuck away (most of the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Zugec Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 Nope, I am only interested in Virtual PC. I am using VPC 2004 SP1 if that matters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls15000 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 virtual PC doesn't use drivers. It just uses a virtual driver to connect through the main OS. You can specify in the virtual pc settings which nic you want to connect through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
