If you have the CD, why not install from the CD instead of the net? Oh, well, you can't get the CD to work ... I have not installed from CD before, but I imagine that somewhere near the top of the file structure will be the README files: HARDWARE.TXT INSTALL.TXT KNOWNBUG.TXT README.TXT RELNOTES.TXT which I imagine you can obtain when you mount the CD from Win95. Read these files. The INSTALL.TXT document contains a fairly detailed section on how to install over ppp, if you still want to go with that route. Otherwise, I believe the ATAPI driver wants the CDROM drive to be the slave drive of the secondary IDE controller (a second IDE controller running on irq 15). -- James
