dial up password save errors
I have a new Inspiron/Windows XP. I set up the dial-up options and wanted to save my password, connect automatically. Each time I go back to it, there's a new, much-longer password in place of the one I entered. I have to catch it before it dials and change it each time. This has also happened to my daughter with her new Inspiron/Windows XP (different ISP). I've deleted the dial up account and re-ented it all but the same thing happens.
Thanks for your help,
Debbie

Then why do I get an error message from my ISP if I let it dial up without changing the password?
Thanks!

If you do a search on "dial-up password" you may find and answer to your problem; you can also look at Microsoft Knowledge Base Article -314455. Hope this helps.
On by the way I have the same problem and tried everything I could think of to fix, and haven't yet. If you do find something that does work for you please let me know. Thanks John

ERROR 691: Access was denied because the username and/or password was invalid on the domain.
Not only is the password changed I my case, I can't log on manually with the correct password when I use the dial-up connection. If I go directly to ISP I have no problem?

Sorry don't understand , what do mean by "go directly to ISP" .?
How do you do that without using Dial-up Connection to dial.?
The Password shouldn't be changed as explained before only shows 16 bullets for security.
Try this link http://www.modemsite.com/56k/duns691.asp Hyperterminal & XP info.
Also what is your ISP.?

I have Juno for my ISP. What I mean by going directly to my ISP is "I click on the Juno icon" and it connects find. But if I click on EI which takes me to the dial-up connection it loads a bogus password that I can not override. I havn't checked the above link yet. I'll take a look and get back to you. I know that the password should not be changed but it is and that's my problem! Thanks John

I checked Juno site & it seems they use there own Dialer so you have to connect to ISP using Juno Desktop Icon.?
"In Juno 5.0, can I use my own browser instead of Juno's Web browser?
You can surf the Web with another browser instead of Juno's Web browser in the Web screen. After you connect to the Web through Juno, just open your other browser. This browser will use your Juno connection. You can also specify which browser Juno should use when you click links in messages or in ads.

Yes, I know what they say. I also have two other computers with Juno and Win98 and have no problem with the dial-up connection.

www.juno.com Help tab also says;
"Connect to the Web with Internet Explorer
With Juno 4.0, you can set up Juno Platinum to connect to the World Wide Web when you double-click on your Web browser. Please note that this feature only works for Windows 95 and Windows 98 and for Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher; it doesn't work for Windows NT or for Netscape Navigator. "
As XP uses the NT Platform probably doesn't work it also. !

Edit:; Latest Juno
"I'd like to connect to the Web (using my Juno connection) by double-clicking on the Internet Explorer icon. How do I set this up?
The only way to connect to Juno is by using our proprietary software. Although our software requires the use of Dial-Up Networking, which Internet Explorer can access, you cannot use Dial-Up Networking by itself to log on to Juno. If you want to surf the Internet or check e-mail, you must always connect to Juno first."
