Dear Herbert:  I have seen this problem before and was able to clear it up
by uninstalling  and reinstalling the Dial Up Adapter.  Sometimes it gets
kind of screwy after a few crashes.  And, it shouldn't hurt anything to try
it.

>I have a very annoying problem. To start, I run win95 with IE5.0. Was
browsing along and I suffered a crash while defraging, so after giving it a
few minutes in case it would be OK, I pressed CTRL-ALT-DEL twice and it soft
rebooted. Everything seemed fine until I tried to reconnect, the net
wouldn't respond, so I checked another connection and it was also non
responsive, at this point I suspected a problem on my end. So I opened a dos
window and tried to ping myself, got "Transmit error; error number 10043". I
have a small network also and it can't ping local machines either. The funny
thing is if another computer pings this one it works, I just can't send any
packet. I tried reinstalling DUN multiple times, never worked, same problem.
I went on the net and found two help files on the Microsoft site, one says
error 10043 is caused by certain files not being able to load, it suggested
a fix, didn't work. I then found a page that describes how to completely
uninstall TCP/IP and DUN, did the whole thing and I still have the problem.
The thing is everything else works perfectly fine. I have a feeling that one
single file is corrupted because of the crash, but I replaced every file
microsoft lists for DUN and it still didn't work. Any ideas? I don't want to
reinstall the whole thing because of this problem, I don't have backups so
that is not an option. Any ideas? What files should I replace in case they
are corrupted? Thanks for any help, writing from my linux system (thank God
it works!). TTYL
