Follow the steps in Knowledge Base article 292175 How to Perform an In-Place
Upgrade of Windows 2000 (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=292175) for steps
to perform the upgrade.

What specifically happens when you try to install networking on your current
installation? Do you get an error message? How are you trying to install it?
