99199 2002-11-17 07:38:00 I did an install (upgrade) of Windows XP home edition to fix another problem and, although it fixed my other problem, a newer, more serious one emerged. Everything worked fine except I couldn't connect to the internet and could not add a new connection. The Remote Access Connection Manager (Rasman) would not start (Error 711) and this service is required to add or open a dial-up connection. From what I've read this is a common problem as you can read here:
www.annoyances.org

The fix detailed in the forum (and I can confirm it worked without side effects) is
Run: regedit
Select folders in the folllowing order:
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-SYSTEM
-Current Control Set
-Services
-RasMan
-PPP
-EAP
-when you get to this point, you should see 4 folders (numbered 4, 13, 25, 26)
-DELETE: folders 25 and 26

Thanks to Catherine!
