That's the truth! I work for a local ISP and I often have people calling
saying they can't connect. I walk them through checking their DUN settings
and more often than not, something has changed, and our clients always say
"I didn't change that, what happened?" My response is almost always, "Thank
Microsoft." It has been my experience that Windows 9x has a bad habit of
losing settings for DUN, among other things!
