Thanks again. It appeared that during install, windows setup could not
find the cd drive.! Curious, as it was being installed from the cd
drive.

Anyhow, I did search the win98 disk for these files and didn't find
them there...

I'm now copying all the .vxd and .dll files from another win98 machine
and will copy them to the \windows\system folder on the problem
machine. Then will try to install the network stuff.

Thanks for the reply. I've gotten past the card services. Install
seems to go ok, but then (at the end of the windows install), the
install program is looking for a bunch of .dll and vxd files that it
can't seem to find (and are not on the win98 install disk) such as:
dhcpcsvd.dll, icmp.dll, inetmib1.dll, and other .vxd and .sys files.
I've told the install to skip these files, but am concerned that the
system is somewhat wounded! Any ideas?
Those files all relate to TCP/IP networking ... can't remember now, but
maybe those files were in subdirs of the win98 installation folder ....
in which case, let the installation finish, by skipping those missing
files, then afterwards (assuming you can boot to a regular windows
desktop) remove all apparently installed network ccomponents (via the
"network" control panel applet) and re-add the components you want.


I *think* that when you set up networking (TCP/IP) that those files will be found and installed properly.
