Something really weird in UT

Ok, here's the deal. I have a PIII 450 with a voodoo banshee running under Win98 and UT worked fine just a week ago. Last week I had installed Direct X 8.0 and everything got messed up. First of all it took like 2 minutes just to load UT, before it took seconds. Then when I try to play online, it says CONNECTION FAILED! without even trying to connect. I have a 10mpbs connection and I have not changed any of the UT preferences, just installed DX 8.0

Then I went ahead and "uninstalled" DX 8.0, but the uninstall didn't go perfect, I had to manually do it so some files were messed up. Now I have upgraded to Win ME and Direct X 7.1 seems to work fine. However, the connecting and loading problems are still there.

Does anyone have any clue what the heck is going on?

BTW-I can play in practice mode fine, just that levels take sooo long to load compared to before.

 
ER: Even when using Glide UT will still use DirectX for other things, so a problem with DirectX may still occur when using Glide.

Mule: Are you using a recent(4.32+)version of UT? If not, try that. If I recall correctly, UT had some problems with some connections in it's earlier versions.
