here at work we call this the BIG ME FIX..... cause it is most apparent in windows ME... but works the same in 95 and 98. There is no diffrence with 98 and 98se.
1. Uninstall DUN and Internet Connection Sharing (Do not reboot).
2. Remove entire Configuration list from the Network control panel (Do not reboot).
3. Go into the registry and delete the two keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock2
4. Reboot
5. Reinstall NIC, DUN and the PPPOE software. (As needed)
6. Reboot again.
Howto uninstall DUN: Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs->Windows Setup tab. Uncheck Communications and click ok. DO NOT REBOOT.
If that doesn't work... your probably lookin at a reinstall of windows.
