Subj : W2K RAS problem

I have a new W2K system and have a RAS dial-up to my employer set up.
Works fine.  However, when I disconnect, a remnant of the dialup session
remains.  It appears that the remnant of the PPP adapter is causing
logoffs and shutdowns to fail - I never get to the "Saving your
settings" dialog box.  If I reboot without hanging up first, the reboot
is successful.  If I hang up first and then reboot or log off, the hang
occurs, apparently due to the OS trying to clear the network connect.
If I never dial, there's no problem.  I've reinstalled W2K over the
existing installation with no help (although it did fix another problem
with BSOD and Veritas Backup Exec Desktop).  SP1 reinstall doesn't help.

Here's the output from IPCONFIG /ALL after hanging up:

The PPP adapter doesn't exist until I dial.  It goes away on another W2K
machine after hanging up.

Clues?
