To work around this issue, you can use the Netset.exe tool from the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit to reapply the network settings after Setup.

Netset.exe is a standalone utility that you can use to add, remove, or change the network configuration of a client computer that has Windows 2000 already installed on it. For example, you can use this tool to remove a protocol, such as Internetwork Package Exchange (IPX) or NetBeui, from a client that is no longer used on your network. You can also use this tool to change the Internet Protocol (IP) information on a group of servers or workstations without using the user interface.

Netset.exe uses an answer file to perform the configuration of the network components. The procedure follows the same format as an unattended setup answer by using the Network section to configure the client.

The following registry key must exist for Netset.exe to run successfully:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup\answerfilemap
