New SBS2003 premium install problem

First of all, I realise this isn't the correct group for 2003 queries. So
far, my ISP hasn't added the new one to the list.

I am setting up a new IBM Dual CPU server. It's running on a RAID5
configuration with 2.5GB RAM.

I have got past the windows setup bit, and it's allowed me to log on to
windows and started the next phase of the install.

When the next phase starts, its asks me for the telephone, address details
etc. I click next and after about 5 minutes it fails with the following
message:

An error occurred while installing Internet Information Services

Anyone got any ideas, this is a major disaster for me as I am trying to
install this at the weekend :o(

Thanks in advance

As far as getting the correct newsgroup ... apparently you are not aware
that you do NOt have to rely on your ISP for a list of newsgroups.

You can setyup Outlook Express (or whatever you se to read newsgroups) and
point it to:
msnews.microsoft.com

From there, you should find the SBS2003 NG which is titled:
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

Don't know. But have you plugged cables from your NIC cards to your hub yet?
If not, try that.

Thanks for the response Kevin. I made a mistake in the install anyway by
installing windows on the wrong partition (duh!).

I reloaded and this time everything worked ok.

Thanks
