I am working on a Classic Pentium 166 and Win95. Originally this computer was part of a network and printers were hooked up to the network port. Now it is a stand alone computer. I have deleted all the mapped drives and ports. I have removed 'clients for microsoft networks' and use 'windows logon' I installed epson 777 but it keeps finding a network port. I cannot delete the network port in printer properties, detail. And obviously I get a communication error when I try to print. Somwhere in the registry there is a listing for the network port. How do I rid the computer of the network port listing and reinstate the local lp?

Thanks in advance.

Uninstall TCP/IP, reboot, then reinstall TCP/IP. That might take care of your problem.

If your not going to use the PC in a Network Environment they you can disable the Network Card. To do this go into your Device Manager (via right click My Computer, Left Click Properties) and select the Device Manager Tab. Go to the Network Adaptersin the list and click on plus sign to show the adapters. Then click on the actual adapter, say card and save this setting so you don't have this 3COM or what ever you have, and select Properties from below. Another window will pop up and on the General Tab you need to check off the "Disable in this hardware profile" and then click ok to update. This should solve your problem give the info you gave.
