    I have a Dell E6540 with the I27-LM and I am using Ghost Console 11.5.1.2266.  I have loaded the Intel driver (version 19) from \\PROWin32\PRO1000\Win32\NDIS62 into my WinPE folder from the Boot Wizard, but upon pulling the original stock image from the Dell I am getting a 127.0.0.1 IP address.  I have seen this before with Ghost not having the proper driver for a NIC.  Ghost only likes Vista x86 drivers; however the I27-LM does not have a Vista driver.  Any Ideas?  I am trying other versions of this Intel driver (18.7 and 18.6) but it seriously takes 10 minutes to load each driver into Ghost, so I will be around.

    See these 2 articles by Terry BU.

    You are right in that GSS2.5.1 needs Vista drivers however there are work-arounds.

    You don't need to spend 10 minutes trying drivers. See this article:

    Good luck!  its getting harder to find VISTA drivers for new hardware.

    The articles i wrote (that Pete linked to) actually add a new Ghost Boot that uses Win7 drivers (because it uses WinPE3, not WinPE2) and how to make it work
