Using dial-up? That's the problem. For some reason that procedure
and similarly Help and Support both think we should be connected to a
LAN and not using dial-up.
FWIW the way I did it way back when is change my Connections
options to Never dial... (implying I had a LAN connection.)
Then, when it couldn't find a DNS it started looking for a dial-up
connection and that's when I could dial and get connected. YMMV.

Actually provided you have ie6setup.exe in its own directory and you
want the download to go there you don't need the /S switch at all.
Then the minimum syntax is much simpler.
