Hi guys,

I got the following Problem when booting from a standard PE 2.0 CD:
When wpeinit does the networkinitialization it takes very long to do that.
It gets a ip address from our dhcp.
Someone got a clue how to speedup this process?
i just need a network connection to map a drive.

How long is very long? In my experience it usually takes 30 sec to 1 min.

Yup, Had this problem with some newer Broadcom cards, Updated the drivers and reduced the time quite significantly.

with long i mean about 7 - 9 minutes only for network support starting.
Got this Problem on PC´s with intel 965 chipset.
Someone got a clue? think i should add drivers to the pe?

What NIC are you using?

Did you ever figure out what was going wrong? I also have an Intel 965 chipset and am having the same issue. I injected the network drivers into WinPE--the same drivers I downloaded successfully and used within the OS--and no luck!

I am having this proble also. On Intel 965 Chipset on a Shuttle board. The NI is a Broadcom 5789 GigaBit. I have added the driver to the PE but then an ipconfig -renew comes back with "Interface is Unknown" but an ipconfig -all does display the correct device name, but the IP address is 169.x.x.x. Also the DNS Servers are displayed ie fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1....
