Sir Haggis -- (Scottish, perhaps?)

Thanks for your prompt reply. When the system accesses my installation
disk, I receive the error message: "the specified location does not contain
information about your hardware." I have a feeling that I need to direct
the software to the specific folder in which the TCP/IP file(s) are located.

However, one of the windows I encountered during this process states the
following: "The following network components are installed:" and it lists,
among others, TCP/IP Dial-Up Adapter, and TCP/IP Dial-Up Adapter #2(VPN
support). I'm not sure what to make of this, unless my TCP/IP files are
corrupted. I am able to log onto the Internet without difficulty.

<g> oh about 200 years ago (Bingley) :> just a name i like to use....

I was going to ask originally if you had internet access ...(TCP/IP is
required for internet)

so it is installed ...but the update will not install...you may be right
that the boot drive not being C: could be a problem

is this the route you took to get the file(s) ....did you install DUN
1.3-1.4 ?

Try installing the TCP/IP protocol again and when you are prompted
for an installation disk, type in "c:\windows\inf" and click "OK".
