To
resolve this problem, plug the
network cable into a hub or other
network device. If network
connectivity is not available and
this is the first domain controller
in a new forest, you can finish
Dcpromo.exe by installing Microsoft
Loopback Adapter.
The
Microsoft Loopback adapter is a tool
for testing in a virtual network
environment where access to a
network is not feasible. Also, the
Loopback adapter is essential if
there are conflicts with a network
adapter or a network adapter driver.
Network clients, protocols, and so
on, can be bound to the Loopback
adapter, and the network adapter
driver or network adapter can be
installed at a later time while
retaining the network configuration
information. The Loopback adapter
can also be installed during the
unattended installation process. To
manually install:
-
Click Start, point to Settings,
click Control Panel, and then
double-click Add/Remove
Hardware.
-
Click Add/Troubleshoot a device,
and then click Next.
-
Click Add a new device, and then
click Next.
-
Click No, I want to select the
hardware from a list, and then
click Next.
-
Click Network adapters, and then
click Next.
-
In
the Manufacturers box, click
Microsoft.
-
In
the Network Adapter box, click
Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and
then click Next.
-
Click Finish.
After
the adapter is installed
successfully, you can configure its
options manually, as with any other
adapter. Note that if the TCP/IP
properties are configured to use
DHCP (the default), the adapter will
eventually use an autonet APIPA
address (169.254.x.x/16) because it
is not actually connected to any
physical media. |
