alfaunits Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi, I've made an install with nLite(1.01), and have selected netowkr functionality as required (so I don't remove it by mistake). However, I cannot browse the network still. I guess I have removed some other component, but I cannot figure which one. Any ideas? (Network Places shows absolutely no items) I made an installation with RC7 with even more items removed and that one worked The only reason I am using 1.01 now is because VM packs are in .7z format now.Cheers.

nuhi Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 It can be one of the network locking tweaks on Tweaks page Network section.Did you select any of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale5605 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'm having the same problem. I can't do get anything on the workgroup to display no matter what I try, it is completely broken. I've removed a lot less than with previous versions that seemed to work fine even when I removed a ton of stuff.Also, if I unplug the network cable and then plug it back in, it won't say it is connected. It will still say that the network cable is unplugged. I have to disable the connection and then re-enable it before I can connect to the internet.These are the only tweaks I have down for network, if you need more info I can supply it.Network-Disable DCOM protocol bindingsNetwork-Disable Microsoft-DS (close port 445 TCP/UDP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 dale5605, hi I'm too troubled with the same issue of the missing icon but I however didn't use Ethernet DHCP Compatibility option which would prevent that (did you?).You don't need to disable/enable just go to the Network connections and keep pressing F5 until the icon is established.This is very annoying to me, does anyone knows which component this might be so that I can see if it can be bypassed or at least put it into description?

GrofLuigi Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 dale5605, hi I'm too troubled with the same issue of the missing icon but I however didn't use Ethernet DHCP Compatibility option which would prevent that (did you?).You don't need to disable/enable just go to the Network connections and keep pressing F5 until the icon is established.This is very annoying to me, does anyone knows which component this might be so that I can see if it can be bypassed or at least put it into description?For me, after XP SP2 and/or subsequent updates there is changed functionality/dependencies. In order to display network icon, now two more services are needed (while before I always left them disabled/taken out): - network location awareness- remote access connection manager.If I would need to be absolutely positive, I would turn on (automatic) the so-called (by me) annoying group:- Com+ event system,- System event notification, and- Windows management instrumentationOf course, you have network functionality without these above, with just- Network connections and- Telephony (sometimes)set to automatic.But! This is not enough. You have to relax RPC permissions, either by going to Component Services -> blah blah -> Configure my Computer (which I resent), or through registry.And I don't even touch the firewall! (Poor thing, it always gets taken out/disabled)Greetings from MacedoniaGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zydeco Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I've had the same problem with the new version. I had to use version 99.6 or something that i had lying around to get windows networking to work at all. In 1.0 it would not work even if you don't remove anything network related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vci Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) I guess your problems are related to the "Network-Disable Microsoft-DS (close port 445 TCP/UDP)"-tweak.just try this:start regeditsearch for "TransportBindName"If this key is empty, put "\Device\" in it.This tweak changed from RC7 to RC8. So It should work for you with RC7 or just manually add \Device\ back again. Be careful when adding additional users - they delete \Device\ again - this is due to how nlite applies things ...edit:please add your nlite.inis - thanks Edited August 26, 2006 by vci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rado354 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I don't have such a problems.The network is running just fine.Didn't applied any network tweaks in nLite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 GrofLuigi, thanks I'll try your suggestion on next reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zydeco Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 This is made with 1.0.1, nothing that should remove windows networking in there (the same config works fine with a earlier version of nlite) and its run on windows 2003 SP1. also the suggesions posted are all in there and ok. But still, i get my workgroup up. But i cant see any computers, if i install netbios i get no permission for the workgroupLast_Session.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zydeco Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Ok i can pretty much confirm that this is a bug in the final version (1.0 and 1.0.1). Ive done the same windows 2003 SP1 install with the same options but with nlite1.0rc6In 1.0 and 1.0.1 windows networking will only work over netbios, which means you have to have netbios installed on all your windows computers in your workgroup. which is a bit pants since netbios sucks and is considered unsafe, plus is slows down tcp/ip and isnt as fast in network transfersIn nlite1.0rc6 windows networking over tcp/ip works. Attached is my config from nlite1.0rc6, the previous post is the config with 1.0.1Last_Session.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale5605 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I can confirm that Zydeco. Works fine in the RC builds I have used but not in the current 1.0.1.Here is my config from the 1.0.1 install which failed.Last_Session.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0pect8 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 have a look here.You could try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 What a weird guy you are Bold, and you wonder why something weird happens.Ease up on the hammering from the other side, we're not the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale5605 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 The only file from that list that was missing was drprov.dll, but that is missing from my current install also in which workgroup networking works fine. So I think the issue is something besides certain dll's or files being deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
