The whole Network Neighborhood cum Dial-Up thing is geared towards LANs and I had to add TCP/IP protocol to it later. When installing W95 it asked if I used a network and I thought "well no I want to PPP " so... didn't install it. No Network anything showed up, I had to add components later to do that. I can go look up specific names but you get the idea. I'm sorry I don't express myself well, that's why I haven't posted b4; everyone is so eloquent here :( BTW Hi Donna I'm the other girl on the list :D Dawn
