Thanks Dave, for your reply.
My problem is: I am a Certified Windows Ignoramus. In this case it
means I have no idea how to do what you suggest. I'm tempted, from
linux, to go into the ~/win directory and find something to delete but
_I know_ this will break something in Windows.
Also how do I "setup the connection to the Internet as though
connected to a Lan". I've looked within the `winsetup' menus and found
nothing apropos. I did a vanilla installation of Windows and Office
2000 several months ago and nothing more. So however my Lan is setup
is what comes from following the Trelos instructions as far as I can
tell.
Sorry for such basic questions but I've done nothing but Unix (and IBM
mainframe) for the last two decades. For a "Joe Sixpack" operating
system, Windows seems awfully hard to learn.
