> Hi All and chris.
Your setup sounds lovely and makes sence. When I try that, on Step one after
reboot (or no reboot) no network components are set up. I can do the same
thing over and over again without success...:o( What is your windows
installation (95, 98, 98SE)? any updates on it? Would be lovely to get
Outlook connectivity...*sigh*
