Currently - no. Let's take it one step at the time.

XE has another issue (catching the hostname while installing); I demonstrated that and reproduced your errors (see thread). This version does not use an internal mechanism, but a freely configurable listener (which we can't get to work).

You should be able to "log on" to your domain, while the network cable is unplugged, that is what I meant. Yes, MS Windows caches the domain credentials, I have been using that mechanism for years. No longer than a week, I believe.

That are repsonses by the instance - meaning we'd reach the database itself. Network issues resolved...

No.

Hmm.. You may have a point there.

Fine - were you logged on to the domain, or locally? Try to repeat the exercise similar to install time. And how do you open a command line interface ("DOS box") anyway? I cannot explain why your environment gets ruined every time - because that is what your errors mean: I cannot get a decent error message, because I don't know where to find it... Start, Run, "cmd" would do it (no quotes.. :) )
