Once in a while you might see Win95 pop a message upon using your modem
to connect to the internet is something like 'Dial-Up Networking could
not negotiate a set of...' bla bla bla, this is usually caused by:

1.Excessive mileage of internet use,
2.Forcing your Dial-Up Networking connection to close and disconnect
while a bunch of winsock applications are still open (ie., you leave
Eudora, Netscape, IE, I-Phone, Westwood, and a game on WinQuake all opened
at the same time you disconnected from your ISP),
3.Corrupted clusters that affected certain areas of the registry or the
tcp/ip .vxd and .dll files,
4.A combination of the above.

One simple rememdy to this is to go into [Start][Settings][Control Panel]
[Add/Remove Programs][Windows Setup][Communications] and remove the
Dial-Up Networking. Then go back into it again to reinstall it, then it 
will ask for you to restart your computer, and then go back into your 
[Control Panel][Network][Add] and add [Protocols][Microsoft][TCP/IP] and 
let your computer restart again. For those that have a LAN card in their
machines as well, be sure TCP/IP is binded only with the DialUp Adapter,
and no other protocols (like NetBEUI or IPX/SPX) are binded to the DialUp
Adapter. Now go to your DialUp Networking group window, and remove your 
ISP's connection icon, and make another new one. After this, everything 
should be kewl.

Good luck, with Win95, you need it.
