Windows PE / BartPE boot image can't access the network

SYMPTOM

It is not possible to access the network from within your Windows PE or BartPE boot image.

CAUSE

The most likely cause for this problem is that the network adapter of your target PC is not natively supported by Windows PE / BartPE (respectively by the Windows operating system that you used to build the custom Windows PE / BartPE boot image).

RESOLUTION

Integrate a third-party network driver when building your Windows PE or BartPE boot image. If you want to use the same Windows PE / BartPE boot image for multiple different target PC types, you may have to integrate multiple third-party network drivers.

The process of adding third-party network drivers to Windows PE is documented in the Windows PE online help (winpe.chm). Please refer to the topic "Adding Peripheral Device Drivers to a Windows PE image". Note that you do not need to activate Plug and Play device driver support in Windows PE when adding network drivers.

The process of adding third-party network drivers to BartPE is documented on the PE Builder web site, www.nu2.nu/pebuilder. Please refer to the article "Adding drivers".
