SYMPTOMS

When you start Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error message:

Assertion Failure: The assertion "g_pRasPortEnum" at line 1299 of the file W:\NT\PRIVATE\NET\RAS\src\ui\common\nouiutil\rasman.c is false.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double- click Internet.
On the Connection tab, click Connect.
If you do not have an existing Internet connection, click "I want to sign up and configure my computer for a new Internet account. (If you select this option make sure your telephone line is connected to your modem.)."

If you have an existing Internet connection, click "I have an existing Internet account through my phone line or a Local area network (LAN). Help me set up my computer to connect to this Internet account."

Do not click "My computer is already set up for the Internet. Do not show this wizard again."
Click Next.
Follow the instructions on the screen.

NOTE: Do not click Cancel or quit the Internet Connection wizard because this deletes the Dial-Up Networking connection you are configuring.
