Ipconfig /all showed something like:

I did the base install when I was connected through a router to the ethernet.

Since I was not sure what order I had installed the updates, I decided to
uninstall the updates and service pack and try re-running SBS setup again.
Unfortunately, after uninstalling the service pack, the server continuously
reboots. I think I something in the KB about this, so I am going to look for
it. I will keep you posted.

Can you post the results of an ipconfig /all for the server?
Did you complete the SBS Integrated Setup install before you updated the
server with any MS Security updates or Service Packs?
Did you do the base install of SBS when it was connected to a live hub or
switch only (no other workstations or Internet connections connected)?

Thanks, Mike and Rick for your input.

Turning off the Virtual Machine and re-booting the SBS did not clear the
situation.

I had thought that DNS could be the problem so I deleted the VM from both
the DNS and WINS databases in active-directory. This did not help either.

I thought I might have found the solution. Somewhere in the KB, this
forum
or the EULA, I read about not mixing the media between the dvd and cd's
when
installing SBS. So, I did a reinstall of SBS using the suggested method
of
selecting
"Change/Remove" on SBS in Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel. This
seemed to work for about two days. Then the problem started again.

If I thout it would alleviate my problems, I would do a complete fresh
install of SBS. However, I have already done this three times. I might
just
go back to Windows 2000 server instead.
