I just installed Win2K Pro over Win98 on a home computer. When logged on as either the user (part of Administrators group), or as the actual Administrator, I'm unable to run the Internet Connection wizard and create a new Dial-Up Networking connection. I receive "Access Denied - You do not have permission to run Internet Connecton Wizard. See your Network Administrator." The computer's not part of a network, and the Administrator of the box should be allowed to run this. I'm new to Win2k, but everything looks fine. Is there something I'm not seeing?

The problem is that, as you say, you computer does not have any network connections the computer can associate the IC wizard. Go first and create a Dial-Up connection (uze Network Connection wizard)and after that run the Internet Connection again and I think it's going to run. I've seen some things vaguely related to networking (that in Nt were working even without a network connection - only with a loopback interface) that refuse to start if you don't have a valid network connection.
