I suspect it could be some other application that you have installed like MS SQL2000 or one of MS's beta software packages.

To also troubleshoot the problem, go throught: nbtstat and ipconfig (good old dos window still helps!).

If you don't try it clean, you will also have difficulties with Exchange and ISA in the future.
I tried to install it right back at the start before anything went on there. I don't believe you have the choice to choose components such as DHCP server during install either.

No SQL on there either.

I've pretty much given up finding a solution; something I hate to do but the route ris providing DHCP so it is no biggie.

Thanks,
