Here is what I found out last night ( about 4am mind you lol.. missed my psy231 exame today =( )
After installation of Windows2k
I ran the
Configure Your Server app. After clicking finished, it would then pop up a box, saying it was going to install Active Directory.
After it finished installing the necessary files, it then prompted me with a message saying "Connetion to the Network Could Not Be Esablished".
This lead me to believe that something was up. I then checked to see if windows was even recognizing my NIC Card, and it was, but it had yet to install any drivers for it.
Thus, I had no local area network, and could not use my localhost to view any type of data.
This confused me, because I assumed that whether you had a NIC Installed correctly or not, it should still use the web server and still be able to load my php...
So, I did a little more investigating, and found that if you don't have a nic installed properly, you cannot setup dhcp, you cannot setup tcp/ip, and therefore you cannot view your localhost through ie as a webserver because of this...
Am I correct in assuming this? Thanks....
