I am trying to install Service Pack 6a on a Windows NT 4.0
Server that is not connected to the internet. Where does
one find a version of the Service Pack that does not
require a Web connection during installation?

On the standard Microsoft download page for the Service Pack, there
should be a 'Network Install' option. That is one big file. You can put it
on a CD.

Thanks Andy for getting it that far.
However the network version can only be downloaded to the
computer hard drive. It won't let itself be downloaded
to a CD. And once it has been downloaded to my Desktop,
it won't let me move it or copy it. The computer that
needs the updated Service Pack is in a room across the
house and doesn't have a network connection.

Anyone have any way to change the properties of the file
so that it could be moved or an alternate source for a
copy of Service Pack 6a that can be downloaded to a CD?

Problem resolved. I found a utility that was able to copy
the file to a CD. It installed without any major problems.
