Dial Up Network [DUN] will not "save" password

My T-21 Thinkpad laptop is running Win98SE. When I setup an ISP phone number and click on the "save password" box, the next time I click on the icon the password is missing !!!

I have to retype the password every time I go online. Any suggestions ???

NOTE: I have my desktop setup the same way, and there the password is always shown.

Steve,

Thanks for response, THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX FORUM FOR A 76 YEAR OLD TO NAVIGATE !!!!!

Turns out, password folder was corrupt. Deleted folder and recreated DUN icons and everything is working again.

NOTE: Have no idea how to post this in "public forum", you have my permission to move it.

You're welcome, Bob. I'm glad to help. And your message made it to
the "public forum" just fine.
