Dial-Up Scripting Does Not Work After Reinstalling DUN

Q148924



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Windows 95





SYMPTOMS

Dial-Up Scripting may no longer work after Dial-Up Networking is reinstalled. The Dial-Up Scripting Tool shows that the correct script is applied to the Dial-Up Networking connection icon, but when you double- click the connection icon, Dial-Up Networking does not log you on and disconnects.



CAUSE

Reinstalling Dial-Up Networking overrides entries in the registry that Dial-Up Scripting requires to intercept the normal login procedure.




RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, reinstall Dial-Up Scripting. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
  2. On the Windows Setup tab, click Have Disk.
  3. Type the path for the Rnaplus.inf file, and then click OK.

    NOTE: If you are using the Windows 95 CD-ROM, the path is

    <drive>:\Admin\Apptools\Dscript

    where <drive> is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive.

  4. Click the "SLIP and Scripting for Dial-Up Networking" check box to select it, and then click Install.

NOTE: These steps apply only to the retail release of Windows 95. This information does not apply to Windows 95 OEM Service Release version 2.
