Hi,

I think the NIC driver is not correct for what ever the reason. The easiest way to find this is loading it manually after booting to WInPE.

WinPE 2.0 supports dynamic driver loading. Once you boot, get the NIC driver in a USB or a CD, and use the drvload command to load it. Syntax is 

Drvload <path to inf file>\<name of inf file>

If the driver is correct, it should load it and get an IP address in a minute or so. If this does not work, driver is not correct for the NIC.

Other thing is forgetting to select the driver after adding to WinPE :-) Could you double check if the added driver is selected in WInPE-512?

Hi,

Here is a link to the driver:

Here is how to extract it:

Here is how to add it into the boot wizard:

The NIC that the e6400 uses, the Intel 82567, is newer than the release of Ghost, and therefore the drivers included are not sufficient for that card.

Thank you,

Randy

Thank you for your replies.

Krish, made sure the driver was selected.  Boots, just not network.  I downloaded & tried the drivers Randall suggested.  Added them to the image & checked the box, just to make sure I added them to another directory on the CD so I could use the drvload command.  No network.

I grabbed the driver from Dell & put it on a jump drive, tried to load it using the drvload.  No network.

Randall, thanks for the help.  I have added drivers before but it was nice to see I did it correctly.  Tried the driver you suggested, but got no where with it.  Tried the driver from Dell, it doesn't work either.  My laptop is identical & I copied the driver off my laptop & it didn't work.  I tried the XP32bit.  Is there another flavor I should try that works better wth WinPE?

I got it to work using the Vista 32 bit drivers & the manual load method.  I'll try another CD with the Vista drivers & see if it works.

Thank you guys for all the help.

Hi,

Good to hear that. It will work when you add the driver to the driver database. Since Ghost uses WinPE 2.0, which is VIsta WinPE, Vista drivers are more appropriate. Most of the XP drivers work for Vista but there are some that does not.
