snwtoy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 This may be a long shot, but does anyone know how to get the network running from winpe 2.0 when booted in VMware.I assume it's a driver issue, as the machine is not getting any ip address, and network services fail to start when I try them. If that's the case, what drivers need to be injected into the PE image, and how?If there's more to it than drivers, what's the process to get it working? I get the same problem when booting the image into VPC 2007 beta.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pringtef Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I had similar problems despite injecting the vmware drivers offline and then recompiling. It appears that the default WinPE image does not enable the protocols and so on, and this needs to be either added to a batch file, such as StartNet.cmd, or manually invoked from a command line.I ammended StartNet.cmd so that it has the following at the startwpeinit ; should be in there by defaultnetcfg -v -winpe ; added this manuallyAfter doing that, things worked fine, and picked up an IP from my DHCP server immediately.

ubernerd Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 add ethernet.virtualdev = "e1000" to your vmx file and you wont need any extra network drivers in winpe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
