This error condition can only occur when the adapter being used is a PPP 
adapter. Are you using dialup or PPPOE?

I don't think your doing anything wrong. Its probably a bug that only 
shows up under specific circumstances using Vista. If I can reproduce 
the problem, there is a good chance that I can get this fixed for the 
next release.

Good. If it works for you in XP then we should be able to get it working 
in Vista without too much effort.

Thanks,
