bob wags.... see if you have more than one pppmac.vxd running at the same time... (or if you have more than one file, if so, rename extension on one temporarily and see what happens) run system file checker... i saw this and will include it for the heck of it.... "Fatal Exception OE at 28:xx in VxD MSTCP(01). This was called from 0028:xx in VxD PPPMAC(01) It causes a frozen connection, General Protection Fault, or system failure. If you have a blue error screen and this error message, requiring a system reboot: You will need to download vtcpupd.exe and vipupd.exe to update your TCP & IP drivers. They can be found on our Web page." most of what i see pertains to w95 and dial-up connections just winging :) mark
