I have a new install of SBS2003, and have sucessfully setup 2
machines, one WinXP and one Win2k with the
http://servername/connectcomputer/ wizard. On the third machine I am
trying to setup, a Win2k ThinkPad, I cannot complete the wizard
without getting a networking error. I am able to log in properly and
see the user and computer name, it only fails after the final screen
before it is supposed to reboot the machine and complete the setup.

Below is the SBSNetSetup.log that is showing my failed attempt to
setup the machine. I see that NetJoinDomain() is failing and returning
1231 as the error code, which according to MSDN is
ERROR_NETWORK_UNREACHABLE. This machine is configured to be in a
workgroup named WORKGROUP and was previously a member of a
peer-to-peer Windows network. My SBS2003 server is acting as the DHCP
server, and that is working great, and I can verify it has the same
settings (other than IP of course) as the 2 prior machines that setup
flawlessly.

Any thoughts as to where I am going wrong, and what I could try to fix
this problem? I would very much like to not lose this profile on the
laptop.
