Hi,

Can someone please tell me what minimum config is required
to add very basic TCP/IP networking?

All I want to do is set a fixed IP address using netsh and run my own
TCP server. Adding "Basic TCP/IP Networking" wants to bring in so
much junk. I don't want any standard networking services.

Do the experts here often have dozens of unresolved dependencies
when aiming for a small footprint?

Yes. The best way I found of doing this was to build an image with the resolved dependencies which does what I wanted, pull some stuff I thought it unlikely was essential out, a few components at a time, and tried everything I needed to do.
Once I was sure I was down to as little as possible in my image, I'd start again from scratch, with a cut-down PMQ that only includes the devices I actually use, and added back in the components I knew the image would not work without. This sometimes results in a smaller image as the invisible components brought in when the dependencies were resolved are not present - however this can mean the image no longer works as expected... so, it's all a bit suck-it-and-see once you're leaving things unresolved.
