Next navigate to Dialup Networking, remove any current DUN connections.

Go to Add/remove programs, click the Windows Setup tab. Double click on
Communications and remove the check by Dialup Networking. Close up
Add/Remove programs, but Don't Restart.

Run regedit, navigate to
HKEY_Local_Machine\system\currentcontrolset\services and delete the entries
for Winsock and Winsock2.

Now reboot.

Run the Internet connection to rebuild the DUN connection. (You may get an
error msg at the end, but its unimportant) Reboot.

Everything should begin working.

Interesting. I see it fixed his problem. Would a Network+ book cover
troubleshooting these sort of connection problems?

Probably not. It might cover reinstalling Dial-up networking, but the key to
that fix is the registry edit. Reinstalling Dialup networking without the
deleting the registry entries, doesn't update the registry entry. Is some
cases there may be problems that can be fixed by reinstalling DUN and not
using the registry edit, but it only takes a second to delete the entries
and it can't hurt anything, and may save you from going through the process
twice. I really don't recall where I first learned of that particular fix, I
think it was on MS Technet.

This fix is widely used in help desks (that's where I got it from), never
saw it on a Network+ book.
The basis is that Windows will rebuild the Winsock and Winsock 2 keys when
restarting and set them back to default (the error message pops up when
Windows does not find the related keys).
Quick and easy, just wipe out everything and let the OS take care of it.
