Thanks reboot.

Didn't work on two counts I'm afraid.

I think your diagnosis was probably right, but I'm going to have to find another way to fix it.

First, communications >> DUN isn't in add/remove windows components, most likely because I have XP home, not pro.

Then, when I skipped to step two, the wizard said that any name I put in for the connection was invalid (it said must not start with a space or contain any periods). Why it would stop at this point of all places i don't know.

At this point I gave up.

Any other ideas?

Ta, keys
