Please help! I have been using the same DSL connection (WinXP Pro
SP1) for months named "Connection1" with no problem. Suddenly, it has
started to make a copy of itself in the Network Connections screen by
renaming itself "Connection1_OLD" and creating a new connection called
"Connection1". The username has been changed from the original
username to "ConnInst20". It has also given itself a service name of
0088213331192. Neither one of these accounts will actually work when
I try to connect to the internet again, not even the old, renamed
account.

If I delete these accounts and create a new one, everything is ok for
about 30 seconds, then the same thing happens again!! (the service
name may change slightly). I have scanned my computer for viruses and
spy-ware, I cannot find the problem! I have been searching the
internet for a fix with no luck. Does anyone out there have any
ideas? Thanks!
