Network in Windows PE
« on: May 13, 2003, 05:34:08 AM »
Hi!!!!!
I want to know how to configure the network interface in WinPE. I need it to configure the LAN for internet access. I want to know how to set IP,MASK,GATEWAY and DNS and a WORKGROUP. This is necessary if i want to browse the web (if any program exist to do this, tell me please).
By the other hand i want to know if there's a Net browser to use in this windows version. (Could be possible to make a folder and put into????)

I hope you can help me.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!

WINPE has very limited network access.  By default, you can access shares on other computers, but they cannot see shares on your computer.  The best networking command is net use, but in winpe it doesn't totally act the same as in xp.

To put settings such as nic settings, you would use the winbom.ini file.  A good article on this is http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...2/WCT072502.asp .  Also check the OPK documentation.
