Can't rid system of bad password for log on ??
"EJ" said in :
YEs, even with tech support from Earthlink Dial up assistance. They suggested a corrupted Client Sharing file. Have you tried blanking your password (by deselecting the save password option, try to make a connection, abort it) and then filling it in (enable the save password option, try to make a connection, and then specify it)? This not only attempts to blank out your password but also forces a toggle in the state or behavior for that function. Unable to Clear the Password Box in the "Connect to" Dialog Box After Remote Connection http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=303554 Have you checked out the following KB article yet? User Name and Password Not Retained for Dial-Up Connection in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP-1) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=818895 Although the KB article says they will waive the service fee, when I have called to get an unreleased hotfix and it sounds very applicable to my problem, they just give me the URL to download the file along with a password (or it is in a temp FTP directory so I have to get it quick). Since they won't know if it fixed your problem (because you've hung up to do the download and then test it), they can't charge you because there is no verification if the alpha hotfix fixed your problem or not. -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.

if all else fails, you could try deleting that connection
and creating it again from scratch. -----Original Message----- I tried it without success. Will continue to read the posted articles. . |

In the Phone and Modem applet in Control Panel, under the Modems tab panel, select your modem and click Properties. Under the Diagnostics tab panel, enable "Append to log". You can click the View Log button to see if there is any old stuff in an existing logfile (just erase it all and close/save the logfile). Then attempt the connection which results in an error. Maybe something will pop up in the logfile to tell you what is going wrong. -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.
