glc, I agree, he just sounded crunched for space.
By the way, lots of times, it will prompt you for the CD when it already has the files.
Try this:
next time Windows asks you to insert the CD, tell it that it's in the folder C:\WINDOWS and let it look.
If it still can't find the file, tell it that the CD is in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
Then the next time it stops and asks, tell it that it's in C:\WINDOWS again.
For most network changes, you just have to bounce back and forth between these two, and you never need the CD at all.
After a while you get good at picking which one to start with. LMHOSTS is C:\WINDOWS, and the .DLL files are almost always C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
