We get this all the time. It's one of two things: TCP/IP is not
installed correctly, uninstall it, reboot the win95 machine, reinstall
it, reboot the machine, try again. #2 - The modems are having normal
connection problems. I think that 95 reports this number when the login
phase is all garbled up. This usually happens when the modems connect
with no error control, and the Login: prompt is line noise instead of
Login: That's why calling back a couple of times makes it go away. All
of our customers, from USR Total Control dialin users to PM2e with Hayes
Century 16 Rack modems or USR Sportsters. All of our POPS get this
error from time to time, and I think every 95 user will get this error.
I got it at home, then I just dialed in again, no problem.
