Why can Win95 “negotiate a compatible set of network protocols”?
We have observed that a small number of Win95 users seem to have occasional problems connecting. The symptom is that Windows 95 will dial the number, successfully login and then immediately fail during the PPP negotiation phase with a message similar to: “Dial up networking could not negotiate a compatible set of network protocols you specified in the server type setting”. Often rebooting the computer can clear the problem. Sometimes doing nothing but waiting a few minutes and then redialing will cause the problem to disappear. For some users, they must remove and then add back the “TCP/IP” networking protocol to clear the problem. The primary cause for difficulty seems to be related to the NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, and TCP/IP protocols are used by default for a Dial-Up Networking “connectoid”. (Hey, we don’t name these things… “connectoid” is Microsoft’s name for the Dialup Networking configuration that you created to connect). However, for use with Internet Service Providers, nothing shoul
