This is not a Server Core specific problem.
This is a known problem and is described in Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 921471.
Possible workarounds described in the Article include disabling basic authentication and activating the product using the phone.

Hi,
If you have a router and it is configured to provide IP addresses via DHCP, it should just work.
