Friday last week, I ran through exactly the same thing as Crissy had
experienced.  I went through Network Connections which only showed, 'Local
Area Network.'  Dial-up Connection was not and is not on the list.  Prior to
this problem, I have downloaded XP's necessary & critical updates.

In desperation, I went through the other route using Control Panel's
'Internet Option' icon.  Again, I checked Connections and went through the
Set-up... process to re-establish a dial up connection.  I filled out the
"New Connection Wizard" and 4 pages down where you are given 3 choices, I
clicked the radio button to "Set up My Connection Manually."  Again, the
only choice available was 'Local Area Network.'

I am wondering if this is a bug on the System.  Anyone else experienced this
problem?

Professional. I have a dial up connection and when I installed the upgrade
all it offered was a lan connection. I even tried the connection set up
wizard. But it wouldn't let me. So I had to unistall it.  I hope someone can
help..
