I have all the drivers in the correct locations, but im still getting a line


"
Starting Factory state "Starting networking".
ERROR: There is a problem setting up the network.
ERROR: Factory state "Starting networking" failed.

"

I dont know what this "problem" is. It would be helpful if they could tell you more. Well i'm just wondering if anyone has seen any of these lines, and if they figured it out. Thanks.

What kind of NIC do you have?

[mbabineau]

I have the intel 8255xER on board. Its on a supermicro board. The name of the inf is Net559ER.inf.

Here are some assumptions, let me know if they are correct:


1) You are using WinPE based on WinXP SP2 or Win2k3 SP1.

2) you are using the /PNP switch?

3) you have installed the driver with the command line:
drvinst.exe /inf:%DRIVERINF% /oscd:%OSSOURCE% %PESOURCE% /q

I dont think im using the PNP switch, i know about it, but didnt think i needed it. I believe i tried it a few weeks ago but it didnt make the diffrence. I will again try to use the driver command line install. I think i may have missed a certain part of it. Thanks.

I don't use the PNP switch, but I have seen some drivers that won't work without it, unless you find a special RIS version of the driver.

And I have seen some drivers that don't work correctly if you don't use the /oscd: switch for drvinst.exe

Goodluck

tried both of those. seems that i do have special drivers for RIS so i tried them, no good either.
