I am working on the windows xpe image and i need to check the check box for "allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection" found in the Advanced settings under the Internet Connection Sharing.
It works fine when i run the image on the single wireless card but as soona s i change my wireless card that particular check box is again unchecked.I need to know from where exactly its is displaying eth value of ethat checkbox and why it is being unchecked.If i gain check it it pops up teh message that internet connection sharing has been enabled for wireless network connection .Do you want to eanable for wireless network connection2.

I digged it into the regisrty and found that taht are two enteries for both the drivers and i dint find any reason why it should be unchecked.

Can somebody tell me how all this internally works.is tehre any registry key,some tool,some utility ,some command or soem Apis by which i can set thsi property automatically or it should not reset when i change the wireless card.

Thanks in adavnce for your help

The setting depends on the device. If you change devices, the setting must also be changed.

Likewise, if you put the image on a computer that has a different make/model of device, the setting will need to be fixed again.

When working with WinXPE the system is locked down against any changes by default. You need to turn on and off EWF.This along with TU2's info should resolve your issues.

The reason none of your changes are being retained is that XPe's Enhanced Write Filter is probably enabled. To see if this is the case,
open a DOS prompt (START | RUN | type CMD ), and enter in the following (without quotes): "ewfmgr c:"
(This is presuming that your flash drive id "c". If it not, use your drive letter in place of "c").
Look for State Property. It will probably say "Enabled".
