will not retain dial up settings

[Rejection Man]

weird, I set up IE to automaticaly dial my default connection, and it works, until i restart the system. After restart the systems reverts to "never dial" reset settings, and it works. Restart and it reverts. Why! I can't figure it out.

so i now have 2 customers with the same problem. Running ESS Smart link modems. I have alreay run the patch to avoid using the circit that cause the modem device to not respond. The problem with the no auto dial, seems to be afecting many of my customers that have been updated. They can connect manualy, but DUN will not coe up when a internet tool is launced, becasue DUN keeps defaulting to Never Dial a connection, when it has been set to Always Dial my Default connection. Also seems to only affect WIN ME systems, as i am using a SMART link Card, but in a 95 Enviroment. IE 5.5 SP1. Any ideas????

This can also be an issue with your windows password lists. If you logon as a different user or not logon when making the changes or have already made the changes then IE will seem not keep the settings you give it.

Do you hit escape or cancel when windows ask at initial boot up? If so, windows needs to have a username and password to have a profile so it can associate the dial up username and password to the profile.

Try signing in or creating a whole new profile.
