Answer 1

Hello,

1. Try adding a driver for your network device.

We recommend WinPE: Mount and Customize | Microsoft Learn, especially for any driver that requires a reboot during the installation process.

You may also be able to use the Drvload Command-Line Options | Microsoft Learn to load some drivers while Windows PE is running. However, any updates made to the registry during the installation process will not persist after a reboot, even when Windows PE is running in a WinPE: Install on a Hard Drive (Flat Boot or Non-RAM) | Microsoft Learn.

2. Run Wpeinit and Startnet.cmd: Using WinPE Startup Scripts | Microsoft Learn to initialize the network. By default, wpeinit runs when Windows PE starts.
3. In some cases, you may need to configure firewall settings on the PC that you are trying to connect to. Windows PE supports Internet Protocol Security (IPSec): Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) | Microsoft Learn.
