Pondering the Imponderable

I've had this weird problem with Win98 dial-up networking (DUN) locking up on me. All of the sudden Netscape or my mail reader will bring up the dialog box to reconnect, but DUN just freezes. You can view the connection time and such, but you can't disconnect. Killing RNAAPP causes it to disconnect, but that causes any programs accessing the 'Net to GPF.

I found this article on the M$ support site, which says that downloading an updated version of DUN 1.3 should do the trick. I thought I had a newer version already installed, but a quick peek at c:windowssystem showed me I still had the original installed. I'll keep you posted on whether or not this actually solves the problem.
