The target computer is an XP, Steve, but the issue I described did appear on
the 98SE. I noticed it while checking everything and thought it might
somehow be related since I've changed the computer name and newsgroup as
well as run the network wizzard several times. I'm comfortable with your
explanation; it probably is related to a dial-up modem. the machine is a
portable. Thanks for the help.

My machine is equipped for infrared but it's disabled. I'm trying to
reconnect to the LAN I made two years ago but am having a lot of trouble.
(See thread "IP Addresses on LAN" if interested). Can someone please tell
if this first report of an Ethernet adapter (the null adaptor . no
addresses) should be there? If not, how do I remove it?
This is a Windows XP news group, but the commands and the output that
you give look like what I'd expect in Windows 98. What does your
computer have?
In Windows 98, the first adapter is probably the dial-up adapter,
which only has an IP address when you're connected to the Internet
over the telephone. That adapter isn't involved in LAN networking.
