CEICW wizard fails with "unable to configure network connection" e Tad Price 13.07.2007 07:10:01 I'm getting the following error when I try to use the Configure E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard in SBS 2003 to configure the Internet to use my cable modem: "The wizard is unable to configure the network connection to your ISP. Ensure that the cable for the network adapter is working properly and is connected to a switch or hub that has power." Note that I'm able to connect to the Internet fine locally, so there should no physical cabling or other issues. It only fails when I try to run through the CEICW wizard. Here are the options in the wizard which I chose: 1. Connection Type = Broadband 2. My server uses "A direct broadband connection" 3. "Obtain an IP address automatically (use DHCP)" The above error occurs after clicking "Next" after specifying the Network Connection information. Any ideas on how to work around this? Thanks...
