PENetwork Manager for VistaPE/Win7PE

I uploaded version 5 beta of the script for my "PE Network Manager" utility to manage the IP settings under VistaPE and Win7PE.
You also have the possibility to connect to wireless networks (private networks only for the moment).
With this utility you can connect to network drives, share folders (still in progress) and do some other things like just 'ping' a host/address.

The script you can also download from 'my' personal Bootland-website http://holger.orgfree.com/
DirectDL (zipped 458KB): http://holger.orgfree.com/scripts/PENetwork_vpe.zip

History:

22.02.2009 - v3 beta (PENM 0.46):
- Fixed: Bug in refresh of WiFi available networks
- Fixed: Bug in WiFi profile export (OneX not supported at the moment)
- Fixed: WiFi listviews did not react on DblClick anymore after color scheme change
- Fixed: Direct key input striped the key
- Fixed: WiFi bug while adding profile with WEP encryption
- Changed: WiFi arrays
- Added: WiFi profile apply without change without retyping key
- Added: WiFi exporter (XPSP2 with WlanApi, XPSP3, Vista, 2008)
- Added: Some additional checks/routines for WMI using under WAIK-PE

Using with WAIK is not implemented in the WB script yet.
However, if have a PE with WMI package added then just extract the .exe from the scripts and then you can use it also with WAIK-PE.

There is still a lot todo and space for improving, not all things are working now (like iw. starting sharing - you still need the script "FileSharing")...
(For LiveXP I'm also do some new tests with WiFi with DeviceIoControl - miniport direct commands).
However, you can already test the basic functionality.
In LiveXP it is working good so I think there should no big problems with running it under VistaPE and you can give it a chance
If you have any questions, suggestions or problems just let me know.

For additional information you can also take a look in the "Developement" section or my winbuilder page (ie. screenshots).
