I installed W2K Server and tryed to do a DCPROMO, so that I have a frist domain controller. When going true the installation wizard of DCPROMO, once I arrive at the installation of AD (Active Directory), I receive an error : "Network is not accessible". I have one network card & defined an ip-address (in house range).
This server is not on the LAN. I try to make a test lab. Did somebody already encountered that problem ?

The DCPROMO wizard is a little touchy at best. I had this problem over and over again until I plugged the box into a hub - by itself, not on the LAN. Then the Wizard accepted that it was "on the network".
