Damn DUN

Hi, Does anyone know a troubleshooting guide on setting up DUN in Windows 98? Now that the GPL 1.2 patch is out I thought I'd give online racing another try, but I can't get my dial-up connection to work properly. I can connect, login name and password are verified, but always after 10 seconds online I get disconneted again. Did anyone else have a simalar problem, and solved it? I usually dial in under Linux, with the same ISP, and I never have any trouble there. Any suggestions? I have tried some online races some time ago, but I kept getting disconnected. Is it even worth trying again with only a 33k6 modem? And if not what is a good alternative? ISDN, cable, satelite, ...? Thanks for any help, Johan.

Hmm. My standard DUN connects fine. After I created another one that has all the tips/tweaks that everyone suggests, it won't connect. So, I either try to connect with a DUN that hasn't been 'tuned' for online play, or I go without...
