Wrong Password in Dial-up Connection

[Linda]

Please excuse me if I'm in the wrong ng, but I'm trying to set up a dial-up
connection on a new computer that uses Windows XP Home and Internet Explorer
6.0. When I start my browser, the "Connect" window opens, but with the wrong
password. I change the password, click on "Save", and then I can connect
fine. Next time around, same thing - wrong password. I went to Control
Panel/Network Connections and found my dial-up account. I entered the
correct password, clicked "Save", and "Connect". It worked fine, but still
did not save the correct password.
Help me, please!
Thanks,
Linda

Let me guess; your password is six characters, say and the one in the box is
12? And have you actually attempted to connect with this supposedly "wrong"
password? If not, I suggest you do so. You see, this is how it's supposed to
be - Windows doubles the length of the password to make it less easy to
guess. If someone thinks your password is 12 characters, instead of six,
well they won't be able to guess it, now will they...?
