This is not a DUN issue. DUN is not in any way involved in DSL connections.

Un-install Dial-Up Networking. Don't reboot. 2. Delete registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2 3. Re-install Dial-Up Networking. Reboot. Jim. |

Sorry, I was at the blitzy end of a blitzy day. You're right, of course, but
there are also other issues that could be involved, and this page includes not only your WINSOCK repair but also other suggestions pertinent to this issue. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1453 -- Gary S.

It's all running smooth now, so I guess my friend'll still talk to me. dylan |

SBC/Yahoo DSL down after Win98se upgrade.

Terhune transmitted this: Sorry, I'm getting blitzy today. I *thought* there was another machine involved but in my re-reading, I missed that. It's okay, after a week of this, we were both pretty blitzy, too. Turned out it was a damaged Winsock.dll and all the uninstalling and re-installing didn't fix it, because any time we reinstalled Winsock, Windows would tell us the file being replaced was newer, so we'd keep it. Eventually we got to renaming the Winsock files and saw the date on the DLL was 10/7/05--the day we did the upgrade. Thanks for all your help, his network configuration is much cleaner now, had we gone straight to Winsock, we wouldn't have gotten that done. dylan |
