I'm running into problems installing DSL software. I keep getting an error message that says 'unable to create NTSPPPOE device'.

I have an onboard NIC, which tested to be working fine.

I disabled the onboard NIC and installed another one. Didn't help. I have the software running on another w2k server with no problems, and I am able to connect to the internet.

I also tried installing the RASPPPOE utility on the problematic machine, but that also tells me I have no network adapters installed.

This is a brand new machine with only w2k installed on it. no sp. All machines are connected through a hub. Other machines are working fine.

Any Ideas?

I know this is an obvious question... but did you try to connect the system by itself with the dsl router or modem? using a known good cable? It sounds like your are using the enternet300 software from sbc communications. I have had problems with this in the past as well. Once you can connect and install the software by itself you should not have any problem on your network. Also make sure you are not plugging the network cable into the spot next to where you are pluggin in the modem or router. Let me know if this helps.
