I haven’t been following this thread but just in case anyone from Dell is
following it…. What is really disappointing to me is that Dell has yet to
introduce a business line machine that’s comparable to the XPS 13. I own the
first series XPS 13 and the latest one. It’s the best laptop I’ve ever owned.
Having said that, it’s also a consumer laptop and I am strongly against
deploying consumer laptops in a business environment. It would be great to see
a comparable Latitude which would carry enterprise class support and deployment
options.

Subject: RE: [mssms] Dell XPS 13 and PXE
DHCP options won’t work with BIOS and UEFI based PXE boots, because you have
you specifically specify the boot file and BIOS and UEFI uses different boot
files.
In order to do both BIOS and UEFI, you need to use IP helpers this is the
supported method as well. Sounds like that may be difficult if your specific
scenario if you are using third party PXE server.

DHCP options – But it’s a little more complicated then the standard pxe boot.
It calls a linuxpxe screen which can then boot to numerous different servers
etc.
It was setup before my time, but it works for everything else. Just not UEFI
at the moment.
I’ve set the Legacy Boot mode in the Bios on this, but the boot menu screen
still lists PXE under UEFI, not Legacy.
See attached.

Are you using IP Helpers or DHCP options for PXE booting?

I wonder if it’s because its still UEFI PXE, not Legacy.
I don't think our PXE fully supports UEFI yet. Can this be pxe booted in
legacy mode???

Yeah I’m a step before you! ☺
Yes other laptops work fine on same network point – and tried other network
points.
Were there any other bios settings you configured?

OK, separate issue. The NIC driver doesn’t come into play until you actually
download and boot into the WinPE image.
Can you PXE boot other non-XPS machines from the same network drop?

I’m smashing my head against the wall with this.
I’ve enabled the Network Stack in the Bios and get the PXE boot option. But
after selecting it, I get “checking media presence” – “Media Present” –
“Starting PXE over IPv4”..
Then it just fails and goes to the Press f1 key to retry screen.. I never see
any of the proper Pxe stuff.
Anyone any ideas?
I’ve enabled Legacy boot aswell but no joy.

I just did the same as Scott, and it finally worked. Drivers loaded in WinPE as
well. Good grief, that was a pain. I should have known to check Program
Files…I’ve been snagging VMware drivers that way for years ☺

Hi Scott,
Did you put these drivers into the PE image?

That worked for me….ran setup.exe from the CD that came with the D3100 docking
station, which installed some DisplayLink software on another machine. I was
then able to grab nic drivers from “c:\Program Files\DisplayLink Core
Software\CdcNcmDriver” and I now have network.
Thanks!!

I extracted Nic drivers for that dock from the DisplayLink software.
Unfortunately, (for you, not me :') ) I'm on vacation now, and don't have
details at hand...

Warren, circling back on this issue we have an XPS 13 laptop with a D3100 USB
3.0 docking station. Having very little luck finding drivers that will allow
us to use the NIC in the docking station for USB WinPE boot (PXE isn’t even in
the mix at this point).

I believe that the USB NIC at the link below is the required NIC if you want to
do PXE with the XPS 13 9343.

Subject: [mssms] Dell XPS 13 and PXE
My search abilities are failing me this morning. . .I have a Dell XPS 13 9343
that I need to PXE boot, but I cannot even get a USB NIC as an option for a
boot device. Is anyone PXE booting this particular model of Dell XPS? If so,
is there a place I can go for info on what is needed to PXE boot it?
Thanks,
Jeff
