re: Question about 'Dial-Up Networking Refuses to Remember Passwords' Thursday, February 14, 2002 at 2:32 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Casey (571 messages posted) Hi Larry , follow me on this , it may not make sense but it will work fine. First write down all the settings of your connection in network connections so you can re-create the connection later, then delete the connection. If you use OE for e-mail , go in there and take out your username and password. Now go into the control panel under "users "and create a second user for your machine in XP, (it can be limited or admin). Now go and re-create your internet connection , If you are asked if you want to share this connection with other users , check yes,and put your user and pass back in OE. It should now retain the correct password , but it will still add the "masking" characters making the password appear longer , but it will retain the correct password. Lotsa frustration in this one for me:-) .Good Luck , Case Written in response to: Question about 'Dial-Up Networking Refuses to Remember Passwords' (Larry: Thursday, February 14, 2002 at 10:33 am) There are presently no replies to this message.
