I am having trouble installing active directory. when i put the windows 2k cd in the drive and run dcpromo, an error tells me the network path was not found. the computer i want to promote is not on a lan. i want to promote it so that i can make a domain and a network. how can i fix it? thanks.

It needs to have network connectivity to run dcpromo. Just plug it into a hub even if there is nothing else attached to the hub it will still work.

If there is no HUB, what we can do ..
Guys you can install loopback Ethernet Card,u can find it "install hardware==> add new hardware ==> chosse the network card named: Loopback ==> then install Active directory" this way we can fake Active directory, without HUB or cables , or we can do it without Network card even .. thank you .. send me ur Questions

I don't have a hub..can you be more specific on installing active directory without a hub? i went to control panel/add remove hardware and i don't see the loopback ethernet card in the list.
