Hello everybody,
just sharing this information
if you use GSS 2.5, and WinPE boot environement with good NIC drivers , you may encouter connectivity problem if you have Intel NIC.
Here my story:
I have Windows 7 x64 with ghost 2.5 client, and everything went fine (tasks, WinPE,...). Since Yesterday WinPE is not able to communicate with my network, but driver and IP is correctly set... strange.
So I realyse that yesterday I have upgrade my NIC driver in Windows 7 x64 with the last available Intel, 20.0 version. this version activate Power Saving options, harcoded in the NIC!!! WinPE and the Vista drivers (18.4) don't "wake up" the NIC and there is no network...
So, if you upgrade you Intel NIC driver and encouter problems with WinPE, think of deactivate Power Saving Options in windows drivers management
