I'm getting errors when using Trumpet Winsock 3.0c with the login script. When I connect manually everything works fine, but when I connect using "login" from the menu, I get a "Network problem" error when trying to enter a URL in my web browser, and "No Winsock present" when trying to launch WS_FTP (see http://www.liquid2k.com/philowar/sockerrs.jpg). The automated login works fine in terms of entering my username and password, and then connects me to the internet (though the "connecting to internet" phase seems to take an awful long time, like 30-40 seconds maybe, as opposed to when I just log in manually and hit the escape key to return to PPP and am on the Net immediately), but after I am connected I get the afforementioned error messages. Again, this only happens when I use the automated login from the menu so I am assuming the problem lies somewhere in the login.cmd script, probably somewhere near the end after the login commands. Unfortunately, I know almost nothing technically about the trumpet winsock scripts.
Thanks in advance.

Before making changes to the login script,
Check to see if you have more than one copy of windock.dll in your computer. Trumpet ships with its own version of winsock.dll which is meant to replace the winsock.dll that came with windows. If there is a winsock.dll in your windows directory, rename it to something like winsock.bak or winsock.~dl.
Also, if you have Win32s installed, you need to keep the version of wsock32.dll that came with Win32s and get rid of the one that came with Trumpet.
After you've done this, you need to re-start windows.
If you still get the error after resolving any .dll conflicts, this site has a replacement login script you could try:
