I have been working well on a Windows PE... I got it booting, and giving me choices in startnet.cmd.

When it attemps to connect to the network, it says

Error 1231. Then i run ipconfig, and it says I have an IP address. I run startnet.cmd from the prompt again, and I get an error that says:

"Factory.exe failed to install network adapter. Check Winbom."

I click OK...and it continues running startnet.cmd..and then everything works.

How can I eliminate that error. What causes it? And why does it work a second time around?

Most probably your PE does not contains the drivers for the network adapter.

But the driver takes after a second run of startcmd, except for the factory error

Open up a command prompt when ur WinPE has been loaded, type:

netcfg -s a (will show u if there is any NIC's installed) i think

or download TheTruth's application: PENetCfg.exe and run it from within WinPE. That wil also show u if PE has been able to load some drivers for ur card. Or, ping another host is prolly the easiest way...

Is your PE based on XP or Win2003?

XP.....

The thing is the driver loads the second run of startcmd...except for that error....

I am able to connect to a network drive and download a ghost image....


Do I need to set up anything in my winbom file? I never touched it
