Greetings:

I used RIS to install Windows XP SP@ to completion. However, after the
installation I am not able to use the the PC for Networking. I run an
IPCONFIG /ALL and it returns nothing (Windows IP Configuration is the
only line that returns). When I Double-Click on the NIC Icon from the
System Tray, it shows 0 packets under Send and Recieve. RIS installed
a Default Network installation (Client, File Sharing and TCP/IP).

I am not sure why this is happening. I have never encountered this
behavior. Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

Regards,

JS

Aloha Johnny,

Is the NIC enabled? Can you confirm that TCP/IP is installed? What if you
remove and reinstall the network adapter and its drivers?
