Windows SBS 2003 (Network Access) Activation Issue.

[gberz3]

Hi All,

I'm setting up a Windows SBS 2003 for a client. I've just encountered an issue I've never not been able to fix before; yet now I find myself not able to fix it (sufficiently confused? excellent! :P).

Actually for some strange reason it keeps telling me that it can't find a network connection and therefore can't "Activate" the copy of Windows.

I've verified the fact that I have network connectivity and can freely surf the web. I have also disabled Internet Explorer Security (and even temporarily disabled the firewall) to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas as to why it's giving me such a hassle?

Thanks in advance.
