WinPE + Ghost32 Multicast Problems

[Ya_bewb]

We use WinPE to run Ghost32 to image our PCs. With WinPE 1.2 (based on WinXP with SP1) and Ghost32 version 8.0.x, we can multicast successfully. If I use WinPE 2004 (Based on WinXP SP2) and Ghost32 version 8.2.x, then multicast doesn't work, but unicast does (imaging takes quite a bit longer using uni instead of multi).

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a resolution? I tried disabling the firewall in WinPE 2004, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

I fixed the problem by disabling the firewall in winbom.ini and copying the winbom.ini file to the root of the build folder, before I ran oscdimg to create the ISO image. Here is my winbom.ini file:
