  This adapter is already installed, are you sure you want to continue?

After this error occurs, you cannot access the network, two network adapters
appear in the user interface, and one of these two cannot be removed.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are
researching this problem and will post additional information here in the
