I want to create a W2K password file so my existing DUN connectoid will recognize it. My create DUN screen is different and I can't create it in W2K, so my W98 connectoid works fine, but the password is wrong and I need to create a new password file in W2K.


As John said, W2K does not use .pwl files, so no matter how you creat it or where you put it, it's not going to solve your problem. The fact that you're using a connectoid from W98 may explain why you're unable to get it to save passwords. It probably doesn't have the right structure to make W2K understand, since passwords are handled completely differently.

I don't use dial-up much any more, and the last time I created a connectoid, I think I had a problem with the wizard similar to what you describe. I got around it by cloning an existing connectoid and modifying the copy. It might well work if you used a copy of a W2K connectoid and altered that. If you don't have a way to get one locally, send me a usable email address and I'll send you one.


Thanks for the help, Gary.

In the altered connectoid you mention, does it have a "slot" where I can enter my ISP data? That is what I need.

Maybe we both saw the same thing, the standard W2K wizard to create a DUN connectoid only leads to MS, no place for my data, no use to me.

When I hear from you, I will list my address.

Thanks

Mike
