In the Workgroup or Domain window enter the name of your workgroup or domain.
A workgroup is a small group of computers on a network that enables users to work together and does not
support centralized administration.
A domain is a logical grouping of computers on a network that has a central security database for storing
security information. Centralized security and administration are important for computers in a domain because
they enable an administrator to easily manage computers that are geographically distant from each other. A
domain is administered as a unit with common rules and procedures. Each domain has a unique name, and each
computer within a domain has a unique name.
If you’re a stand-alone computer, or if you don’t know what to enter, or if you don’t have the sufficient rights
to join a domain – leave the default entry selected and press Next.

i have study the above guide,but what is the ip address that can best be used.
I have tried this, but when installing the option ‘Installing Windows’, it won’t prompt me to configure the
Networking Setting. It will just install windows and finalise it.
What do I do?
Thanks

Hello to All,
I just downloaded Windows Server 2003.ISO image to CD but no evaluation key to continue thru the
installation. I thought there was a “FREE” evaluation key that will allow you to use for 30 days or something.
Is there anyway I can get a key to continue forward with the installation of Windows 2003 Server?
Thanks,
Jeff
