If you have miscorrect configured time zone on new SBS 2011 during migration, date or time you could see error "ping OK, networking might not ready with three times". Correct time, date or time zone and everything is OK.

Different Issue fixed this problem for me

Cntl-Shft -Esc to bring up Task Manger

Run CMD

Time -matched with Source DC time manually

Date - matched with Source DC manually

This was under a VMware Esxi 4.1 hypervisor that did have time matched in the hypervisor??

I finally got it.

Go to command prompt, fire up explorer.exe, open control panel in c:\windows\system32, edit the adaptor settings. In my case, there was no gateway defined, I enabled Netbios and specified a WINS server. Problem solved.

I can't get past this error. I can ping the IP address of the source SBS server, no problem. I can ping the FQDN of the source SBS server, but not the Netbios name. I have enabled Netbios on the source server adaptor. I have created a static WINS and static DNS entry for the Netbios of the source server on the source server. On the source server I can successfully ping itself by Netbios name. I have rebooted both servers several times, clear DNS cache, registered DNS. I have verified time, date and timezone are equal on both servers. No luck. What a headache.

I just ran into this over the weekend. Following advice I found on Susan Bradley's blog (SBS Diva), I hit Shift-F10, typed explorer.exe, then navigated to the Control Panel and set the correct time on the server. Problem solved.

Also, another problem that can come up at this same stage, make sure that Netbios is Enabled on the source servers network adapter.
