Duplicate name?

I'm trying to install a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine using Virtual PC
2007 SP1 and shared networking (NAT), but I keep getting a "duplicate name
exists on the network" error. This is the only virtual machine I'm running,
and the host computer has a totally different name.
The error disappears if I use any other network configuration (local only,
bridged), but it comes back as soon as I switch to NAT again.


What's happening here?!?

Do not use NAT and look at my reply to your earlier post....

That's ok.
But why I'm getting this error? NAT is a supported feature, so it at least
should work without creating absurd network errors...
