Resolution

This is due to the specification of Windows PE. The NICs order is not the same between  windows, SRD and Windows PE.
If wrong NIC is chosen for the static IP address through  "Network Adapter Configuration" of SRD, the static IP address is not configured correctly.
It is strongly recommended the below steps to make sure to configure the static IP address for a correct target NIC.

1)Use only one NIC and the rest of NIC's should be disabled by BIOS.

2)Use netsh command instead of "Network Adapter Configuration" of SRD.

Command example 1:
  1 Run "netsh interface ip set address “Local Area Connection” static 192.168.0.111 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1".
  2. Run "netsh interface ipv4 set dnsserver  static primary" if necessary.

Command example 2:
  1. Run "netsh interface ipv4 show interface" and confirm idx number that is assigned to Network Adapters.
  2. Run "netsh interface ipv4 set address static 192.168.0.111 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1".
  3. Run "netsh interface ipv4 set dnsserver  static primary" if necessary.
