Win2k dialup connects and gains IP address but will not talk to network.

I've tried to solve this myself but given up. Before I start, the reason for
the x-post to Freeserve group is because I *think* the trouble started after
I uninstalled the Freeserve Connection Kit (as I was moving back to No
Ties).
I've tried a variety of different dialup connections, I've tried removing
and re-adding tcp/ip, but the strange thing is that when I look at the
bindings it there don't seem to be any to dialup networking. When the pc
connects, ipconfig shows that it has been allocated an IP address as
expected. I can ping an IP address, but any attempt to ping by name results
is a "can't find address" type of error.
Any attempt to traceroute an IP results in a "trasmit error" message. Web
browsing does not work. All "connections" properties in IE have been checked
and double-checked. Doing "ipconfig /renew" gives "no dialup adaptors are
bound to tcp/ip".
So I'll admit I'm not expert so I'm grovelling for help here: how do I
rebind tcp to dun?
Many thanks!

First of all, drag your DUN connectoids out onto the desktop. Make sure
you know all the relevant passwords!

Then remove Dial-Up Networking via Control Panel, Add/Remove Software,
Windows Setup tab, Communications, Details - I haven't got access to
Win2K ATM, so I'm guessing the location.

Then reinstall Dial-Up Networking using the same route, and drag the DUN
connectoids back into the DUN folder.

If it still doesn't work, then remove (Control Panel, System, Hardware,
Device Manager) and reinstall (Control Panel, Add New Hardware) your
modem.

Finally, check that File and Printer Sharing (if enabled) is not bound to
the modem.

They have DUN Connectoids in Win2000?

Yup. Although they are under Dial-Up & Network connections together with
any LAN connectoids.
Unfortunately though, when you drag to anywhere, all you get is a
shortcut.

All I get in a text editor is a reference to rasphone.pbk. Admittedly
all the info is in that file but none in the shortcut.
So all it actually is is a shortcut to an entry in my phone book.
I am running 2K server, don't know whether that makes a difference.

Interesting. I've never actually tried it in Win2K - I assumed it would
perform the same as Win9x. I've never bothered to work out the difference
between RAS and DUN.

Always interesting to hear the sound of pennies dropping.
