you must have a far better idea. What is it?

Find out what the problem ACTUALLY is. Then come up with a solution.


Well, we're waiting for you to do that....be my guest! You've entered the thread
to
criticise everything offered, but what do you have to contribute to finding out
what
the problem is?


There is not enough information presented yet to identify the problem.
This is why I asked the OP to look at specific dialer settings and
post a routing table.

I know the solution ISN'T to uninstall dial up networking. That's the
workaround answer you might get from an uninformed tech support
operative trying to get rid of you on the phone. In these newsgroups
we can be a little more thorough unless the OP is encouraged to make a
half baked workaround and consequently doesn't respond with requested
follow ups.


Fair enough, and I see your point. This is a highly-crossposted thread, and I am
guessing you are replying from the networking group. The other replies are coming
from win98.gen_discussion AFAICS, where networking specialists do not often hang
about. Hopefully, the OP will reply to your request and you will find something. I
don't necessarily agree that workarounds are half-baked though....many are used for
issues where there are no other viable options.

I do agree though, that there *should* be no reason he can't have a stable broadband
connection and use DUN at the same time. I have done that without problem. Pardon
the long side debate. :-)
