Try this... remove DUN, reboot, check Network settings and disable
EVERYTHING (dns, gateway, wins resolution, set to obtain IP
automagically), reinstall DUN (Do NOT use PB win95 upgrade version, get a
OEM/standard version if possible), make sure that the DUN connection does
NOT have IPX/SPX and NetBeui, enabled. As a side note NOT installing M$
client for windows initially, usually prevents VNetbios.vxd from being
installed, which is unfortunately the weak link for winnuke attacks.

And if you want to be nice to the customer don't forget to setup redial.

Feeling even more enamored with your customer, install kernal32.exe patch
and service pack one, for non-OSR2 Win95.

Last, if you still have time lookup the various patches for the winnuke
DOS and apply that...

Don't you just love being a dialup provider??!!? 8)
