Remote Network Access Application (RNAAPP)
RNAAPP (Remote Network Access Application) is one of those occasionally visible yet mysterious
little programs that come with the Microsoft Windows 95/98 operating
system. It is part of Windows' Dial Up Networking capability. Users can see it in Windows
Explorer as rnaapp.exe. (The exe stands for executable,
meaning it's a file that is a program.) RNAAPP can be the source of a problem when trying to get
Internet access. It sometimes remains in memory
from a previous connection, making the system believe that a connection is already established.
One approach if you get the message that "Dial-up Networking could not establish a compatible
set of network protocols" or a message similar to it is to simply press ctrl-alt-delete,
find RNAAPP in the task list, select it, and then click on the End Task button. There may also be
other approaches, too.
