Essam,
Then I might suggest that you either give that WIN2000 Server that
you are trying to dcpromo another name or that you look into why
there is another computer on the network with that particular name.
Did you ever have a Domain Controller that had the same name as the
one that you are trying to give to this one? That would probably
indicate that someone did not properly remove that Domain
Controller from AD or that it crashed and no one did a metadata
cleanup. Should this be the case take a look at the following MSKB
Article to remove the former DC properly from AD so that you can
continue with the dcpromo of this one:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216498
If none of these is what happened then maybe you can explain things
with a bit more detail so that we can get to the root of the
problem.
HTH,

yeh , I put it in the HUB,
The problem that I can't complete the active directory
I restart the server, and now I get message that another server
in this domain,, and the name of my server is founded in this
network!!!!

Essam,
It needs to be plugged into a hub or a switch. Just stick a Cat5 cable
in
the NIC ( on the Server ) and the other end into a hub or switch. The
hub
or switch does not have to be connected to anything, just turned
on....
Now you can continue.
You can also use the MS Loopback Adapter if you do not have a hub
or a switch.
