Exchange 07 setup error Remote Registry service is not running

I'm installing Exchange 2007 in a very simple test lab environment which includes one 2003 server AD DC which has been installed, promoted, and switched to native mode 2003.  I installed the .net and powershell pre-reqs.  When installing Exchange I get an error that states "There was a problem accessing the registry on this computer. This may happen if the Remote Registry service is not running; it may also indicate a network problem."  The setup log is posted below.  I have confirmed that the Remote Registry service is up and running on both the exchange server and the DC.  Any ideas folks?

I know its probably been checked, but did you ensure the Windows Firewall (or for that matter any firewall) is turned off on both machines?

Thanks LSI...yes it is installed on both servers' nics...going to try removing AD and re-installing.
A HA!  Thanks lsigow.  it was indeed file and print sharing on a second nic on the machine.  I double checked the second nic and someone had removed it.  As soon as I put it back the install proceeded as planned.  Yippee.
