CAUSE ===== When you install TCP/IP-32, the OEMSETUP.INF file is copied to the SYSTEM directory and renamed OEMx.INF (where x is a number). The OEMx.INF file is then used by Setup to perform the necessary transactions for installation. The above error messages may appear due to earlier (beta) versions of the OEMx.INF file being in the SYSTEM directory. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this problem: 1. Remove any previous versions of Microsoft TCP/IP-32. 2. Quit Network Setup and restart your system. 3. Rename any OEMx.INF (where x is a number) files that are in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. 4. Start Network Setup again and install Microsoft TCP/IP-32, following the installation instructions in the manual.
