I am having problems with 2000 drivers not XP. I have tried everything known to man. Can anyone direct me to make sure I have the right drivers. I am almost certain they are. I have use the drivers to install the Intel Pro/100 VE when the OS is up and running. I keep getting that damn Blue screen that says you do not have the correct drivers. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still no luck. I have put the drivers in the I386 dir of both the risetup image and the riprep image. I have created the $oem$\$1$\drivers\nic directory structure in both the risetup image and the riprep image. I have copied the drivers to both locations. I have modified both sif files to read:

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic
DriverSigningPolicy = ignore

Help! This is killing me. I had this working a couple weeks ago. I have tried several different drivers for the Intel Pro/100 VE. Nothing works. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
 
Intel NIC's can give a lot of problems with W2K RIS

and the link that seems to solve all our problems:

Be sure to read the readme.rtf for instructions.

Good luck.

Tried this already. Let me explain what I have done

Step one was setup RIS on the windows 2000 server I am up to SP4
Once I had the basic flat image called win2000.pro I then ran riprep on a laptop I wanted to get a image from
Once this was completed
I took the INF recommended by Intel and placed it in the reminst\setup\english\images\win2000.pro\I386 Director
I then created the $oem$\$1$\drivers\nic directory structure at the same level as the I386 directory
I then copied the INF, sys and dll files into the nic directory
I then modified the sif file as directed by microsoft for both the win2000.pro image and the laptop image I created
[Unattended
OemPreinstall = ye
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Ni
DriverSigningPolicy = ignor

I also copied the nic drivers to the I386 folder on the laptop image I created as well as created the $oem$ directory structure at the same level as the I386 folder
I have done everything and can't win. Any suggestions would helpful. Am I doing something wrong
By the way this is a windows 2000 image not XP.
 
Why $oem$\$1$\drivers\nic ?

should be $oem$\$1\drivers\nic - I am not sure whether you had a typo there
or not - $1 is the correct option to refer to the C:\ drive.

Hi Joe,

If you want a step-by-step with all the drivers for Intel Pro100 VE, then
look at my site and click on the link "OEM driver installation":

That was a typo. I have followed NIC students directions to a tee. Still no luck. This sucks!
 
I am trying to use the Intel Pro 100 VE card for Windows 2000. I HAVE =
TRIED EVERYTHING! I have downloaded the drivers Intel recommends. .
They don't work. I continue to get the message =
the "operating system you selected does not have the correct network =
drivers" etc.....
I am NOT using XP and have also tried NIc students instructions but there is some =
mixing of XP in your directions on your web site. I can't figure this out =
and it is driving me nuts. The intel pro 100 ve is built in. The laptop =
I am trying to image is a IBM T40. I am desperate at this point. I was =
able to get the intel pro 1000 to work on other computers but this one =
will not work at all. Any suggestions????

Thanks
Joe
 
Man that's frustrating. All I can suggest is to revisit my site, I have
recieved lots of emails saying that one missed step caused the installation
to not work. Follow each line. The drivers work for XP and 2000.
 
Not sure if you got this working yet, but I had the same
issues. I did notice one or 2 things in the steps that
you have described below however, that might be causing
your issues.

First...when copying the files into the I386 folder, it
only has to be do in the flat image. Also, copy all the
E100BNT files from Intel...not just the INF file. That
INF file is modified to work with the BINLSVC, and calls
for specific drivers..if they are in your FLAT image,
then it will fail. (Before copying in, delete any
E100BNT files that are in the I386 folder as well)

Then for OEM folder, it too only has to be in the Flat
image, at the same level as the I386 Folder.

The structure is $OEM$\1$\Drivers\NIC (You have $1$..so
that might be causing some issues.

For the SIF...I put quotes around the variable for
OemPnPDriversPath...for instance "Drivers\NIC"

Also..make sure you net stop binlsvc and net start
binlsvc before attempting to run the image.
