Every time I have installed W2K Serv. it bogs down and eventually locks up and I can't even log in on the server after about 2-3 weeks. This only happens after in install Active Directory. I am using Wingate for a proxie for internet sharing and also have my own domain name. I'm sure I have configured something wrong and would appreciate a step by step method of installation. I usually assign an I.P. of 192.168.0.1 to the server and also assign I.P.'s (192.168.x.x) to the workstaions as well.

- Install W2k Srv.
- At network setup chose "custom" and set all you can set. Try not to set IP Security at this stage.
- usualy a good idea to install wins and dns; dhcp if you realy need
After setup install (in this order):
-SP2, if not included in cd
- SRP1
- any other updates you need
- hardware related programs
- motherboard chipset software
- video card
- audio card
- modems (if not detected or not detected properly)
- any other hardware related programs
- AD from "admistrative tools"->"configure your server"
- if not installed DNS during Win Setup chose "install ..."
- install any additional software you use
- only now create users

This should do it.
More info?
