     I agree and so does Microsoft it would seem. My first try involved just deinstalling and installing DUN, then I removed everything network related I could think of from the system, including all protocals and drivers and then reinstalled, still the problem. I then got a Microsoft document which detailed how to remove all remnants of DUN and networking and reinstalling, did that and still the same problem. I have installed from different versions so unless the CD-ROM, floppy and internet copy I use are all corrupt, that isn't it either. It is very puzzling to me, it's like the protocals are all working, I just can't send a packet, I can relay one (Pinging from another machine) though. Thanks for the help. TTYL
