| 371003 | 2005-07-10 06:27:00 | The dialup icon in my network places (or if its on the desktop, if u created a shortcut). Double click on it. I take it you're on dialup not on broadband? What does it show then if it doesnt show the username/password? If the username and password options dont appear here, then u have a prob I would get hijackthis scan copy and paste a copy of the log here. www.hijackthis.de And let it analyse/show u what might be nasty. Are you trying to dialup when ur online already? or trying to get another computer on the net, using LAN / on a network? |

| 371005 | 2005-07-10 07:32:00 | Generic comments since nobody has mentioned it. XP does not show the password, just a series of dots. The series of dots will not relate to the length of the password, its obfuscated. So if you are assuming the password is changing based on the visual indication of the length of the password, its not the root cause as it is by design. |
