Thanks for the swift reply.   I tried "Direct Connection" and "Use IE5 settings"
always the same result as above.
I didn't know what to put for Proxy Host in the third alternative.  Don't understand
the concept.
Internet Explorer, Netscape 6.1 and Opera all work faultlessly with broadband. 
So does the scripting language Rebol.
I get the feeling that setup.exe is just not accessing my broadband network card. Is
there anyway of checking this?
Thanks again
Alan.
