Ed,
Turned out that the Win 98 computer had two dial up adapters running at the same time along with two copies of the ethernet NIC in network setup even though the PC only had one board. I fixed all that and not only did the IP Address numbers begin to come out right but the internet speed picked up by an unbelevable amount
Thanks
>>When I run it on the Win 95 computer here it works fine. Each time I sign into my ISP the function shows a different address. If not connected it returns a blank. Exactly what I expected. However, on my Win 98 computer it always returns the same IP address. I searched the registry and found the address at:
>>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\DHCP\DhcpInfo00

>>Anyone got any ideas as to what is happening here?
