PPP adapter

[marks]

Hi,

I have a Dell server with 2 network connections running
Window 2000 server. I have one of the network connections
disabled. When I run IPCONFIG, my server has listed 1
valid network connection with the right IP configurations
and 1 PPP adapter. I have no idea how the PPP adapter
came about. Do you have any idea how I can tell what this
PPP adapter is used for or even needed? I would like to
get ride of this adapter if I can. This server is not
directly connected to the internet - it is on a network
and has internet access.

Thanks

Mark

The PPP adapter is a dial-up adapter, most likely. Only by removing Dial-Up
Networking will you get rid of it.

Dial-up networking is not installed...what else can it be?
