Mini-setup problems after sysprep

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Ok...I'm a little stuck and need some help...

I created a pristine WinXP Pro image for a high school computer lab. Used
Ghost console to sysprep and capture an image. Then sent the image back to
the same machine. It reboots into the mini-setup and stalls at the step
where you enter the machine name (as it is supposed to). However, after I
type in the machine name and hit enter....almost immediately reboots and goes
back into the start of mini-setup. Keeps doing this. I know the next
automated step in the setup is joining the domain so I'm thinking it has
something to do with a networking service problem...but I have no clue as to
how to start troubleshooting this problem.

Any ideas??
