Need to RE-install Dial-up Networking??

[mpschneier]

After a Disaster Recovery from my Backup Tape, I keep getting this error message
in the System Log when I boot into W2K SP2:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Rasman
Event Category: None
Event ID: 20027
Date: 11/29/2001
Time: 11:46:33 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SCHNEIER
Description:
Remote Access Connection Manager failed to start because NDISWAN could not
be opened. Restart the computer. The system cannot find the file specified.

Data:
0000: 02 00 00 00 ....
---------------------------------------------------------------

My ISP told me that the error message in the log plus the error message I get
when I use my analog modem to Dial-up to the Internet-- Error6 : the Handle is
invalid means I have to re-install the Dial-up because it is corrupted. However, since
my DSL, Static IP connection is working fine, I don't won't to corrupt that connection
just to get the analog modem connection working since I only use it if the DSL is
down and using pcAnywhere works fine.

Any suggestions?

For some reasons, your ndiswan.sys file was not properly restored. Try to re-install SP2 or restore it manually from WINNTServisePackFilesi386 to
WINNTSystem32dllcache AND
WINNTSystem32drivers
