hello and thanks for reading this,
as wxpe is booting up, i want to mount a share as early as i can and
when wxpe needs a file, it will goto the share for it.
in this way, i can minimize the size of the boot image.
any ideas how i could do this...
thanks so much,
dave

How about using API functions:

NetUseAdd and Sleep(1) in a loop until your conection is established?

You can refine this idea with additional error handling.

Is it possible that you can perform a network boot on your hardware?
This requires a BIOS and NIC that support PXE(Preboot eXecution
Environment). Google this newsgroup for PXE, remote boot, etc.
