Local Access Only/ Unidentified Network

-

  this dumbest question i've asked in computer forum. i've have been trying install 2008 x64 standard several months now. 1 thing stops me can never network connect. have tried on variety of motherboards, in ms virtual pc, virtual server, vmware , other platform can think of. 1 thing have in common keep getting "unidentified network" , local access only. adapter(s) go apipa. ipconfig /release - /renew has no effect when using dhcp, , static ips don't work either. have tried dhcp, static, disable, repair, troubleshoot , else seems offer help. nics alway recognized -- no splats -- , no connections. i'm apparently missing step 287q section 37a in installation procedures. i've tried disks action pack, technet, downloaded iso technet multiple times. none of has produced difference. simple standalone installation. haven't tried set in domain yet. want networking network!! hook switches using static ip , hook internet through variety or routers , cable modems. other installations connect fine. not 2008.

?????????

pretty waste of time. had hoped there simple missing. i've tried mentioned post. i've done in real , virtual machines (as said in post). also, (as said in post) tried let 2008 fix problem no success. think can consider thread closed due lack of useful response.

i have pc has power settings pushed out default domain policy in ad environment. of course on local machine "some settings managed system adminstrator". the machine temporarily no longer in contact domain controller (it's been physically moved , not on same network now) can't updated gpo settings. i believe if edit local group policy won't make difference because of group policy processing , precedence. since it's temporary away ad network, still want use settings of ad user. is there somewhere in registry stored can edit power plan manually until can sync domain? (i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
