Re: Cannot connect computer to domain

I agree with Chris, Chris.
I saw this the other day and I just disabled the wireless nic in network properties and all was well. Network properties, not dell quickset or other wireless confobulators

if you wireless network adapter were disabled...I believe it wouldn't show up in ipconfig

I've got a brand new laptop that I'm trying to connect to SBS using the
ConnectComputer wizard. I get this error: "Make sure that only one network
adapter is enabled and that it is connected to the Small Business Server".

The laptop is in fact connected to the SBS server. The server has two NICs
and serves as the gateway to the Internet. It is also the DHCP server. The
laptop can successfully surf the web through the SBS box and successfully
got an IP from the DHCP server.

I've seen this error elsewhere in the newsgroup, but no fixes. I have
disabled the wireless adapter. I got the error above before any bluetooth
drivers were installed, so I installed them and then disabled bluetooth
completely. Same error.

The details:
Dell Precision M90, running Windows XP Pro SP2. Plain vanilla; I have
installed no software on it since I took it out of the box and ran through
the startup.
SBS 2003, SP1, all patches applied

SBSNetSetup.log on the laptop:

-- Starting SBS Net Setup --
CheckPreInstall() - can't run with none or more than one enabled NICs

Here's my ipconfig /all dump. (I substituted MyDomain for our actual domain
name). 192.168.16.2 is the IP of the SBS server.
