-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 4.0 SP5, 4.0 SP6 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you install RRAS and IIS Proxy Server on a Windows NT 4.0 Server, and you
use RRAS Demand Dial instead of Proxy's Demand Dial. Proxy clients may timeout
on the *first* attempt to connect to a resource across the demand-dial link if
the link is not working properly.

If you click Refresh in your browser when the connection is working again, the
proxy client works correctly.

CAUSE
=====

The issue occurs because on the first connection attempt an incorrect IP address
is used as the source address when the Demand Dial connection is not working.
