I type the following command under winpe 2.0

Quote

X:\windows\system32> net use k: \\192.168.0.135\share

user name:guest
password:

The user context supplied is invalid

and if use net /add to add a user, then

Quote

X:\windows\system32> net use k: \\192.168.0.135\share username

It shows net helpmsg 1312.

The network seems working, IP address is 192.168.0.74, and ping 192.168.0.135 is ok.

how to make net use work? thanks in advance.

What operating system are you connecting to?

Guest accounts are usually locked out.

2003 server will generally disallow accounts without passwords to connect.

Create an account with a password and check share perminnsions as well as ntfs permissions to the shared folder and use the context:

net use t: \\%server%\%share% password /user:usename (may need to be /user:%server or domain%\username

oh, test the connection using the administrator account and test the share permissions set to everyone - full controll then work back on the security settings.

Many thanks for your warm hearted help...

however the problem is still there. have anyone successfully use network in winpe2.0?

The operating system I connect to is XP SP2 and Win2K advanced server.

and I give full control to the Everyone group, but still not work.

I tried net.exe many times with many arguments, and the most often receive helpmsg 1312.

and to my surprise, in WinPE, ping another machine is ok(such as 192.168.0.135), but on another machine,ping the WinPE machine is not ok!

[gadget]

I know it's not down to domain or workgroups as my pe2 connects to anything I want. Your share may have everyone full control but what are the ntfs permissions set at on the folder that is shared.

Are you using dhcp as the default subnet mask for that ip address is 255.0.0.0 which might put the systems on different subnets.

[jungle_warrior]

Yes it is DHCP, I boot pe2 from local hard disk, and, there is a wpeinit.log file in the x:\windows\system32 directory, the content of the file includes:

Quote

no unattend file was found... wpeinit use default settings...

ipv6 initialized ok, parameters is ...

ipv4 initialized ok, found DHCP server at 192.168.0.2

default gate is 192.168.0.1
default DNS is 192.168.0.1
ipv4 address is 192.168.0.87(Perferred)

NETBIOS over TCP/IP is ok...

node type: hybrid
...
...

but what and where is the "unattend" file? in previous versions of winpe, there is winbom.ini, but what it is for the pe2.0's wpeinit.exe? like some friends have said, the pe2.0's help documents is "not helpful"

[Paraglider]

To connect to XP + SP2 from PE you need to disable some of the security features added by SP2. Run the following reg file on the XP + SP2 machine to which you are trying to connect:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"NullSessionPipes"=hex(7):43,00,4f,00,4d,00,4e,00,41,00,50,00,00,00,43,00,4f,\
00,4d,00,4e,00,4f,00,44,00,45,00,00,00,53,00,51,00,4c,00,5c,00,51,00,55,00,\
45,00,52,00,59,00,00,00,53,00,50,00,4f,00,4f,00,4c,00,53,00,53,00,00,00,4c,\
00,4c,00,53,00,52,00,50,00,43,00,00,00,62,00,72,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,65,00,\
72,00,00,00,73,00,72,00,76,00,73,00,76,00,63,00,00,00,00,00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"RestrictAnonymous"=dword:00000000

You will need to use the target computer name as part of the /user parameter for a workgroup connection.

probably you can't to winpe because of the WinPE 2.0 integrated Firewall. It is enabled by default, if I remember well.

I had the same problem. After reading this thread, I can connect to the share resource without disable any security, but using corect format for user

i still cannot ping winpe from other machine.
MS007 suggested that probably is because of the WinPE 2.0 integrated firewall.
Can somebody help me to disable the firewall?

I am not able to ping other machine from winPE 2.0.
It says "ping transmit failed error code 1231"
I also tried diabling firewall with above settings.
(I have n/w booted vmware bare metal instance using PXE method)

Have installed the vmware drivers into WinPE2?

I have WinPE2 networking working in VMWare Workstation using the default nic devices.

here is the list of vmware drivers I preload into winpe2:

vmware-nic.inf
vmxnet.inf
vmx_svga.inf
vmmouse.inf
vmmemctl.inf

I am facing networking issues while n/w booting DOS image.
i can net use and map network drive.
but "dir" doesnt show any files in n/w drive
it shows "File Not Found".

After googling, I found this link:
http://www.computing...orum/10680.html

But i could not locate pcnet.cab.

P.S. I know this forum might not be a right place to post this question, but context is pretty similar so I posted

[LEKFIR]

My Solution:

Map the network drive from Startnet.cmd but place the command after call to wpeinit.

Steps:
1. MountRW the boot.win.
2. Goto SYSTEM32
3. Open Startnet.cmd
4. Type:
wpeinit
Net use * \\Server Location user:UserName Password

Hope I helped!
