Errors when re-connecting application to internet

I am having problems opening Internet connections after a previous
problem.  Typically NewsWatcher reports "error -3205", Internet Explorer 4
reports "Attempt to load <x> failed", and Eudora gives "Error involving
DNS 701" or "Error while initiating Open Transport {tcp; 1106}"  A restart
is the only way to clear this.

These problems may happen if my PPP line drops and I have to reconnect. 
Interestingly, existing connections which can be maintained, such as a
download through IE4, resume successfully.

I recently started up Netscape (which I don't normally use) and it tried
to open a home page when I had no PPP line up.  Then when I did make a
connection, I got the above problems.

I am running standard OS8.0 on a Mac 7200, but with FreePPP 2.5v2.  I had
similar problems under OS7.5.x.  Most of my problems have cleared with the
move to OS8, but this one remains.

Any suggestions, please?  Please reply by email.

Many thanks
