Cannot complete the network setup wizard

[Swegs]

I had to restore Windows XP on one of my machines at
home. I have set up the XP Home edition, home network
before without any problems. Now, I keep getting an error
that the network cannot complete. The reason given
is, "Your user account does not have adequate permissions
to set up a home or small office network." The problem is
that I am set up as an Administrator on this machine. How
do I get around this? This has always worked in the past.
I am connecting to the Internet through a Cable/DSL
router. I have reset/renew'd the IP configuration. The
device manager reports that the network card is working
fine. The User Manager confirms that I am an
Administrator. I've tried setting it up through the Safe
Mode Administrator account and get the same thing. Any
thoughts?

The same thing happened to me today. It will be interesting to see if this is some sort of date related bug. Anyone else having this problem?

Have you tried turning off the firewall in services under the manger?
