I have done this and am beyond the boot problems... My question was more of what is this DynamicAccess software that appears to be creating virtual NICs...

Try booting to safe mode and look under network adapters in device manager. By booting to safe mode you can see devices that have drivers installed but may not actually be in the machine anymore. -----Original Message----- From: Tim George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 8:14 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: 3Com DynamicAccess ??? I am working on a PC (Win98) for a friend (and we all know that we shouldn't be doing that!!! :) and ran across something I have not seen before... Since the machine had no NIC, I added a Linksys 10/100 adapter so that DSL Service could be used and then started getting Windows Protection Errors... I booted into safe mode and saw that 1) The machine had another network driver loading for a HP Card (Must have been previously removed) 2) Each network adapter (HP & Linksys) also had another entry: 3Com Virtual NIC - DynamicAccess 1.5 () where each adapter appeared in parens. As long as the 3Com Virtual NIC - DynamicAccess 1.5 adapter is loaded for the Linksys adapter, I get the windows protection error. I'd like to completely remove this, but as the user is not technical, I cannot be sure that it isn't needed for something. Can anyone tell me what this driver is and why it would be loaded? A quick search of 3Com and DynamicAccess lead me to believe it might be some type of server based imaging solution, but I have no ideas... (Fortunately there is a remove DirectAccess v1.5 in add/remove programs, I just need to know what this is used for to be sure that I will not break something I am not familiar with that they might be using...)
