Hi,

I'm trying to install Service Pack 4 on my home machine
that isn't connected to the Web yet. I've downloaded SP4
to a CD, but it hangs up early in the install and gives
me the following message:

   "The following error occurred while SP4 setup
   attempted to download the SP4 files from the
   internet: The server name or address could not be
   resolved. If this error persists go to the Windows
   2000 Service Pack Web Site and select "problems
   downloading the service pack" This will give you
   instructions on how to download a version of the SP
   that does not require a web connection during
   installation."

Has anyone had this come up before? I've tried to go to
the site listed, but find no "problems downloading the
SP" I've tried typing that into the various
search/support areas, and turn up nothing? I re-
downloaded it tonight to CD, this time the "Network"
version, and I'll try it again, but I'm wondering if
anyone has run across this before, and can point me in
the right direction. Thanks.
