Hello in my universal image i run things automatically after the image applys however i need the network for some things to work.
I currently just use a sleep command to wait about 60 seconds but i was wonder about a better way.
That's what I'd do. Sweet and simple 
ping -n 20 IPaddress
might work nicely...
use the built in timeout feature as a delay 
you could even use a bigger number or longer timeout (-w 9999 is about ten seconds)
so "start /wait ping -n 20 -w 9999 192.168.1.1" would pause execution and wait up to 200 seconds for the connection to become live.
once the connection is live the replys will come quickly and the timeout will automaticaly end
Bashrat is not the only sneaky one 
Or you could use AutoIT like so...
Local $t, $p
Do
$p = Ping("pbmain1","3000") ; or IP address
$t = $t + 1
Until $p > 0 or $t = 10 ; So do this until it connects or wait 30 seconds of timeoutsLast edited by stamandster (2009-05-14 23:12:51)
Thanks for the ideas guys, i will look into them when i get some time
However i thought the ping thing didn't work because if there network isnt activated yet, pings don't get sent.
Instead of timeouts it says something like unknown command or something.
PING 127.0.0.1 works without an active network
Ping will work as long as tcpip is installed... we are taking advantage of the fact that the target is not reachable until the network is live
