Possible solution for a 'dying' or 'freezing' Internet connection using DSL/Cable modem under Windows 98.

After I had this problem with a number of Gnutella clients, it took a couple of days to find a solution that worked for me.

Look in Windows/System for the file NETPPTP.SYS and check the version. If it is older or the same than 4.10.1998 you might want to replace it with a 4.90.3000 version (which can be obtained from the Windows ME edition).
