SYMPTOMS
When you try to install the Microsoft broadband networking hardware listed at the beginning of this article, you may experience one of the following behaviors:  Setup prompts you to insert the Microsoft Windows 98 Setup CD. You receive an error message that states that required files cannot be found. For example, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

The file (ICMP.DLL) on the Windows 98 CD-ROM could not be found





CAUSE
This behavior may occur if you install the hardware that is listed at the beginning of this article on a Windows 98-based computer.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, perform a manual search for the missing file, and then type the path of the file during Setup. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, click Find, and then click Files or Folders.
 * 2) In the Named field, type: *.cab, click to select the Include Subfolders check box, and then click Find Now.
 * 3) When the search is complete, look for the following files:
 * 4) * driver11.cab through driver10.cab
 * 5) * Win98_74.cab net7.cab through net10.cab
 * 6) Note the path of the folder that contains these files.

This is the path of the files that are missing during Setup.
 * 1) Rerun the Broadband Networking Setup program, and type the path of the missing files when you are prompted.

Note If you are not successful, you may have to remove, and then reinstall your Microsoft Broadband Network Adapter and the Broadband Network Utility (BNU). For information about how to do this, see the &quot;More Information&quot; section of this article.
