[Vol-users] OT: Using netsh to set ip address of an interface on winfe/winpe 4.0.

This post is off-topic; however, there are a lot of bright people on this list so maybe someone will be able to help. I need to set a static ipv4 address on an interface in WinPE4.0/WinFE4.0. For example the following command works on Windows 8: netsh.exe interface ip set address Ethernet static 192.168.0.5 255.255.255.0 On WinPE 4.0 I am getting an error that the interface is not found which is odd since the interface appears in the list of interfaces. For example: netsh.exe interface ip show interfaces and netsh.exe interface ip show interface Ethernet both work as expected. I can also add a route on the interface in WinPE, e.g.: netsh.exe interface ip add route 192.168.0.0/24 Ethernet works. It is just adding the static ip address that doesn't work. I have also tried using the IF index instead of the interface name; still no joy. Unfortunately I can't use dhcp in some applications because the client broadcasts an announcement that I am present, which wouldn't be prudent. I am wondering if there isn't maybe some dependency that is missing from my winpe installation? Anyone have any thoughts? Regards, George.
