I installed Service Pack 2 on my NT4 workstation.  As a result, I can no
longer get a connection to Demon.  RAS dials, and I get the authenticated
message.  If I monitor the modem, I see PINGs going out and responses
coming back, but PING tells me that the response has timed out.  It is as
if the return path out of RAS has broken somewhere.

If I run the SP2 uninstall, the problem does not go away.

I seem to remember that there was something about this problem in the nt
support newsgroup, (registry settings screwd up, etc.) but the article is
long gone.

Did anyone keep a copy of the magic formulae?

Perhaps we could get Demon to stick it on the pub/ibmpc/nt FTP site?

Rgds, Chris
