Check the following: Go to My Computer | Dial-Up Networking then highlight the connection icon. Select File | Properties | Server Type. You should only have TCP/IP check under Allowed Network Protocols. Go to Control Panel | Network. You should have only one TCP/IP stack installed for the Dialup Adapter. If you have more than one, hightlight the unneeded installations and click on Remove for each one. There is a Windows 95 bug that can cause the error. Go to My Computer | Dial-Up Networking then highlight the connection icon. Select File | Properties | Server Type. Uncheck Enable Software Compression. Next, go back to the connection Properties, select Configure | Connection | Advanced and uncheck Error Control. If problems persist you may need to remove and install the TCP/IP stack under Control Panel | Network. If that doesn’t work, reinstall Dial-Up Networking through Add/Remove Programs. In both case, you will need to have your Windows 95 disk/ettes handy.
