Windows RE is nothing more than the repair tools portion of Windows PE. As far as networking capability, it is already there. Perhaps the way that you are getting your Windows RE is where you are having trouble. The way that I do it is with the following command: imagex /compress None /check /boot /scroll /export F:\sources\boot.wim 2 C:\Pe\WinREFromCD.wim Maybe it is just me but I have never had any problems with standard networking inside of the WinRE environment. To enable the networking there are a couple of things you can do, manually enable it, or my personal favorite.. Via an Asynchronous.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <EnableNetwork>true</EnableNetwork> <EnableFirewall>true</EnableFirewall> </component> </settings> </unattend> If this does not work for you guys let me know and I will dive into it deeper and see where you are having problems.
