I'm assuming that you are trying to install on a stand alone pc.

This is what I did on my home win2000 pc:

right click on my computer --> properties --> network identification --> properties
(my computer name is 'filbert') --> more

type in whatever in primary DNS suffix of this computer (I have 'suf' here).

now you go to your hosts file and enter

127.0.0.1 filbert.suf
that is: replace 'filbert' with your computer name and replace 'suf' with whatever you entered in primary DNS suffix of this computer.

can't remember if restart is needed, but do that anyway and start the installation.

worked for me.
