I kind of doubt this will account for all of the problems your users are
having, but I noticed this problem pop up with the original release of
Win95 (4.0.950) on occasion. When it happened, the user (including me back
then) had to restart windows or the error would show every time they tried
connecting. After installing Win95's Service Pack 1
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software.htm) I and others haven't seen
the problem since. After installing SP1, Win95's version changes to
4.0.950a.
This problem was not consistent with any particular ISP. I've noticed it
with many (using entirely different equipment).
Just a thought...
