[OLUG] confused again

[Nathan Brown]

There is nothing in the isapnp.conf file .  BUT my modem is pnp in windows.  It also works
on my friends computer.  I assumed it would work on mine.  However that is not the case
there must be something wrong with my computer.  Or maybe you have another take on it? I
hope so.
Thanks
Nate
