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. |

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. |
