Ok, so you are still using Netcruiser 2.1, and you are not using win95's
Dial Up Networking.  So much for commenting on you clueless quotient.

Before you hang Netcom out to dry, go to http://www.netcom.com/software/
and download NetComplete 3.2.  Go offline, close all your apps, open
Windows Explorer, click on the file you just downloaded, and let 3.2/ms
wizard(s) configure all this stuff for you.

Now give NetComplete a try.  After you have given the new stuff a fair
chance, then bitch about what Netcom is trying to do to you.

But I wouldn't waste time doing it in this newsgroup.  'Cruiser specific
stuff should go in 'cruiser groups.  (Didn't  you know that this is the
"Scott and Joe Show?")

Yeah right.
