Can't find dialup adapter

[Bill Lampman]

Hi,

I have an IBM thinkpad running Win200 pro and show a modem installed and
functioning properly as shown in Device Manager. I cannot see the dialup
adapter
entry in the networking section and cannot create a dialup connection to my
ISP.

Any clues as to why I don't have dialup adapter in my network section ?

I don't believe the modem will show up there - you need to use the
connection wizard to make a dial-up connection.

I've tried internet connection wizard- I get through the whole

thing until it asks for a name. ANYTHING I type gives me the

error: "any characters can be used except for a leading <space>;

name invalid." I'm sure that the name is valid, but nothing I

type is accepted. Why?

I don't know why this would be, and would suspect that dial-up networking is
damaged. Nor am I sure how one could fix this. Perhaps someone else can
chime in.

Sounds like a virus infection. Or maybe one of those stupid hacks that
some internet providers include in their setup software that prevents
users from creating their own generic internet connections.

Do you have SP4 installed? I had a problem like this show up when I
installed SP4.
