    Hi folks.  I need a little help.  I'm having trouble Ghostcasting with some HP Elitebooks using Ghost 11.5.1.2266.

    I can Pxeboot & connect, but as soon as the session starts, it fails with "ghost could not allocate page table memory".  Researching indicated building a WinPE boot Cd with the Ghost Boot wizard was the option to solve this.  I included the correct Vista NIC drivers.  It boots into ghost, but can't connect to the session.  The same disc works fine in an HP x8600 tower.

    I found an article with instructions to use "netsh interface IPV4 set address "local area connection" dhcp", but it fails saying filename is incorrect.  My interface is identified as "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1".  Using the command with that name says "failed to configure DHCP.  The interface may be disconnected."

    Any help would be appreciated.

    If the drivers are not present ,netsh command is of no use .Follwo the link mentioned below and download the correct drivers for HP Elitebook 8760w,

    Extract the drivers to a folder and point to the folder which has the .inf and.sys files,while adding drivers under WINPE .Recreate boot package and use the same.

    Thanks for the info Maneesh.  I tried adding the drivers at the link you provided.  I also included the Vista drivers for the Specific Intel interface, and WinPE drivers I found at HP.  Unfortuantely, sill no luck.

    This project has been bumped down my priority list a notch.  I have to integrate a Boundry Defense suite now.

    When I get chance to come back to this, I'm going to try to build a WinPE 3.1 disk.  I found a link in another post.
