Dial-Up Networking doesn't start!!
Hi, I'm running Win 98 and occasionally at startup i get a box appearing with no text in it and a red circle and white cross in it. I press ok and another box appears with no text and a yellow triangle and exclamation mark, i press ok again. However, when I then go to connect to the internet the same two boxes appear again, and the result is me not being able to get online.
The plot thickens when I go My Computer> Dial-up Networking and either try to add another connection or alter the properties to my existing connection. I get the same two mysterious boxes appearing, but also this time a message box telling me that: 'Dial-Up Networking cannot start. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the problem persists, re-install dial-up networking' Generally when I restart my computer the problem seems to solve it self. I have also tried to tr-install dial-up networking as suggested by the message box, however the mysterious boxes etc keep re-appearing periodically! I have searched through the Microsoft knowledge base articles and this one http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q241886 appears to be the relevant one at first glance, however, I don't have the programmes mentioned in the article installed on my PC! Has anybody out there got any suggestions or answers?? |

Have you tried uninstalling dial-up networking, restarting and reinstalling it?

Run scandisk and see if you have any errors. Have your WIn98SE CD ready to install to fix any errors.

Boot to safe mode, remove any connections found in dial-up-networking.
Restart. Go to Start > Run > and type in: inetwiz Click OK. Make a new connection, with a unique name, and have the CD handy. Once installed, you'll need to tell IE to use the new connection (Tools, Internet Options, Connection tab). |
