Thanks Merv,
I've fallen for this one before, the Blaster Worm reference dragged
something from the back of my brain - it's our KVM switch! No problems at
all when there's a "proper" keyboard, Monitor & Mouse bolted on!
Just for other readers.... SBS 2002 & 2003 doesn't seem to like some brands
of KVM switch - Once the installation is complete, the KVM will work fine.
However, during the installation the KVM really does wreck the setup.
Regards,
