No Local Area Connection

Hi,

A beginner here . I have just started - I'm on a third build of Windows
Embedded (sp2) and I still do not have a "Local Area Connection" when I look
at Network Properties. I do have a 1394 Connection showing. Can someone tell
me what I'm doing wrong (or not doing right) to get a local area connection.

I am using a Dell Inspiron 5150 and I have loaded the Dell Network Drivers
into the Component Database Manager. I imagine I'm not loading something else
that is needed though.

Thanks

Tom
 
Tom,

We'd probably need a bit more details about your image to make the right guess.

What do you use in the image - Minlogon or Winlogon?
What shell do you use? If it is not Explorer shell you will need to register the Local Area Connection item manually.
Do you have the basic TCP/IP stack included in the configuration in TD?

Do you see any conflicts or issues with the network driver in the Device Manager? Also, please check \windows\setupapi.log file to
see if the driver got installed properly.
 
I knew you'd need more - but being new - I didn't know what to include. The
Image is Winlogon, I have tried both Basic TCP/IP Networking and TCP/IP
Networking with File Sharing and Client For MS Networks. The only errors that
showed up was a GEForce Video driver - but the video is working properly now.
I don't know what information to include because I'm (old...) but so new at
this.

Tom
 
Tom,

And the shell is?

Tom,

It all sounds as the adapter didn't get installed.

Could you please show us here the output of the "ipconfig /all" command?

Also, if you could post here the content of the \windows\fba\FBAlog.txt file it might be helpful.
 
KM,

I now have the network working --- BUT, you were right -- I can’t show you
the original files you ask to see because I decided to start from scratch
before your last post. Anyway, this time I paid close attention and although
at the end – it just showed 3 warnings when I scrolled back I could see that
– in fact – it did not load my Broadcom 440 network card drivers.

I don’t understand why at this point. It was listed in the TAP output –
which didn’t load so I tried to use the Component Designer to configure the
device – it seems to configure it – I then add it to the Component Database
Manager and it appears to accept it. However the errors are during the Build
are:

Anyway, I then manually copied the network drivers into System32 and Inf ---
this makes it work ---- but does not teach me why I didn’t get it to work

To dumb at this stage to understand why..!

Tom,

Glad you found out about the network drivers. I almost started to think I am crazy :-)

As to the build errors you're seeing. Did you actually create a repository for the driver files when you created that component with
CD?
If you didn't, please do so. Also, please don't forget to associate the component in the SLD with the repository created.

I don't think I did it right then.

I have watched the listed tutorials;

Accelerated Operating System Configuration (5:18)

Accelerated Operating System Configuration (3:59)

Building a Windows XP Embedded Device (27:50)

Windows XP Embedded - Basic Lab (31:42)

Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 2 - Basic (39:34)

A couple show an of instances of using an .inf to import a new device - but
I don't it being very detailed or remember seeing the information about
creating a repository or associating the compoenent with it.

I guess I assumed that it would take the needed files from the (driver)
folder I pointed it to and place (copy) them into one of the repositorys...!

You can see - you probably got more than you bargined for by ansewring my
first post..!

But, many thanks - for your time and effort.

Tom

Hi,

In my case - the network drivers were not getting loaded. If you look at
KM's reply to me --- about 3 post prior.. he said;
CD?

If you didn't, please do so. Also, please don't forget to associate the
component in the SLD with the repository created."<<<<

When I did create a repository and associate the component -- it work
perfectly!

Tom
 
Thanks for your response..
Is your issue was resloved?

even i my case same thing is happeing.... Network controller, ethernet
Controller driver are not getting loaded.. how can we get this drivers?. is
there way to download. if you have it can you please share with me?
 
Yes the issue is resolved. (Thanks KM)....!

You should have the drivers on a CD that came with the computer or the
network card. If not, you'll have to know the brand, type network card -
then you can download the drivers from their website.

Tom
 
Hi Tom,

This is because XPe doesn't name the network connections. The best thing to do is install a batch file & add the follwing to rename the connections automatically

rundll32 netshell.dll HrRenameConnection

good luck,

Lieven
