36842 2002-02-24 01:54:00 I am running windows 98 on a PIII 667 and just got the comp back from techie for a complete system reload from scratch due to a BIG crash. When I now connect to Xtra, it takes 2-3 minutes for a connection to be made after the line 'verifying user name and password' appears. I was wondering if there is a reason for this and can it be fixed???. Guest (0)

To decrease the logon time, open the dialup networking folder, highlight your connection, right click and select properties. Go to Server Type and uncheck the box 'Log On To Network'.

36844 2002-02-24 04:11:00 Hi, I have also just got my computer back after a complete system remaster and there is also something different when connecting to the net. I am with Actrix and when I connent, during the 'confirming details etc' dialog box another dialog box pops up called 'Post-Dial Terminal Screen'. It has on it '**Ascend TNT Terminal Server**', and then requests login. After entering your login details again the internet connection is made. I have never had to do this before.

I looked at the connection properties and the 'Log On To Network' wasn't checked.

Any advice/comments anyone?

Thanks very much

Jen
