I use LAN and dial-up on Winblows all the time. What DUN usually does is,
when it gets it's connection up and gets a dhcp address, it changes the
current default route's metric to +1 and then puts it's own default route in
on top of it.
I just don't normally try to surf the web at the same time that I'm dialed
up to the office. Winblows tends to get a little confused about which IP
stack to send things on.

Win95 is the same. It sounds like the box is not checked.
On the flip side, if you check the box, you might loose connectivity
to the lan. If this is a problem, then routing must be set up manually.
Windows has a route command which you can use at a dos prompt (Ugh!).
Type "route" for basic syntax. You might check the route entries
before and after dialing if problems persist.

On NT's dial-up networking, there is a "use default
gateway on remote network" checkbox in the "server"
page of the connection properties, under "TCP/IP
settings".
I'm sure I remember a similar checkbox somewhere in
the Win95/98 DUN settings, but unfortunately I don't
have a DUN-enabled 98 box available at present.
