New Server 2003 RS installation - no network
I just installed Server 2003 R2 and didn't complete the post-install tasks and it's disabled my network. I know this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find the answer through a search.
Anyone know how to turn it back on?
Thanks!

Go to the Device Manager and check to see if you have a driver installed for the Network Card.

Yes, the NIC works, I can ping myself. I was even able to patch the box via the MS update site.
There is a security "feature" in Server 2003 R2 that makes the server inaccessable if you don't complete the post-installation tasks. I inadvertantly closed it prematurely and I no longer have network access.

If you go to Network Connections do you see the Local Area Connection? Right-click enable.
