Microsoft late Tuesday updated a critical security patch to address the 
network connection trouble some people had with the first version of the 
fix.

The first patch, delivered in security bulletin MS06-025, was one of the 
dozen released by Microsoft on this month's Patch Tuesday. It repairs 
two high-risk security flaws in a Windows routing and remote access 
component that could allow an attacker to commandeer a vulnerable PC.

However, the fix can interfere with certain dial-up networking 
connections. Problems occur only with dial-up connections that use a 
terminal window, or dial-up scripting, Microsoft said. This type of 
connection may stop responding after the patch is applied, it added.
