Factory.exe - failed to install network adapter

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?

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
