SYMPTOMS
If you use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and you install Netscape Communicator 4.04, you may be prompted to install a modem and a Dial-Up Networking connection.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if you do not have a modem installed in your computer or a Dial-Up Networking connection. The Netscape Internet Access component requires Dial-Up Networking to function correctly.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, create a Dial-Up Networking connection and install a modem before you install Netscape Communicator. To do this, follow these steps:  Use the Add New Hardware tool to install a modem. For information about how to do this, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

NOTE: If you do not have a modem installed in your computer, choose to select your modem manually. When you are prompted to choose the manufacturer and model of your modem, click (Standard Modem Types) in the Manufacturers list, and then click one of the Standard modems in the Models list. Install a Dial-Up Networking connection. For information about how to install Dial-Up Networking, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
