This article provides instructions on specifying a static IP address in TBWinPE\/RE. This is useful when connecting to a network without a DHCP server or other cases when a specific address is required. The process can be done manually after booting or it can be configured to run automatically as part of initialization.<\/p>\r\n

Manually set static IP<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. Boot to TBWinPE\/RE.
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Open a Command Prompt.
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Determine the appropriate interface name used by running one of the following commands:
    \r\nnetsh interface ip show addresses<\/strong><\/span>
    \r\nnetsh interface ip show interfaces<\/strong><\/span>
    \r\nipconfig<\/strong><\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\nCommon interface names include Local Area Connection<\/em>, Ethernet<\/em>, and Ethernet0<\/em>.
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Run the following command to set a static address. This example uses Ethernet0<\/em> for the interface name, an address of 192.168.0.252<\/em>, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0<\/em>, and a gateway of 192.168.0.1<\/em>. (Command should all be on one line.)
    \r\nnetsh interface ip set address \"Ethernet0\" static 192.168.0.252 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1<\/strong><\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\nHelp and examples are available by running:
    \r\nnetsh interface ip set address \/?<\/strong><\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
  5. If necessary, DNS addresses can also be added. (Commands should each be on one line line.)
    \r\n
    \r\nnetsh interface ip add dnsservers \"Ethernet0\" 192.168.0.25 index=1
    \r\n<\/strong><\/span>
    \r\nnetsh interface ip add dnsservers \"Ethernet0\" 192.168.0.26 index=2<\/strong><\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
  6. The address change should take affect within a few seconds.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    Set static IP during initialization<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

    If you would like the commands to run automatically as part of the TBWinPE\/RE initialization you can add them to InitScript.cmd when creating the build.<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n\t
    1. Determine the appropriate interface name (see steps 1 through 3 in the above manual instructions).
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    2. Run TBWinPE\/RE Builder.
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    3. Go into Settings and click the Scripts<\/strong> tab.
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    4. Check the Include InitScript.cmd<\/strong> option and then click the Edit<\/strong> link. The script will open in Notepad.
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    5. Add the commands to the end of the file (these will be the commands you would run in steps 4 and 5 in the above manual instructions). Save the file and exit Notepad when finished.
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    6. Back in TBWinPE\/RE Builder Settings, click the TBLauncher<\/strong> tab.
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    7. Make sure the Run network initialization<\/strong> option is checked.
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    8. Make sure the Run initialization programs in background <\/strong>option is unchecked (this is necessary so that network initialization can complete prior to InitScript.cmd being run).
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    9. Click OK<\/strong> to close Settings.
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
    10. Continue creating the TBWinPE\/RE build.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
