Three times, about two weeks apart, the dial-up adapter has disappeared from the network setup on a friends computer. The computer is a Digital 300 MHz PII running win 98SE and Netscape 4.79. NAV2001 show no virus. I have only to go into network and add the dial up adapter, restart the computer and it is fine. I am sure that it is not deleted by operator action. Anyone seen this before?

Hi! I had no idea, but I did a Google search, and I found that this is not an uncommon problem. Not knowing more details of the machine, and since any direction would be pages long, I suggest that he does a Search like I did entering: "dial-up adapter disappears".

I think it is not so common. Google search of "dial-up adapter disappears" (with quotes) yields nothing. With out the quotes one gets a million variations on ...message box disappears... and then something about the dial-up adapter. I have been there.
Thanks anyway, Mike[/u]

1. Check the dial up setting under IE's settings.
2. Try go through Start | Program | Accessories | Communications. (exact location might vary due to different Win versions)
3. same Windows profile?
4. no restoring software being used?
