In one of my computers (WinXP Home SP2) I created a dial-up connection
using Connection Wizard. It works fine. To make it automatic
connection, I unchecked boxes (prompt for un and pw, prompt for tel #,
display progress---these are checked by default) in Dialing options
(Control
Panel/Internet Option/Connection/Settings/Properties/Options). I
unchecked those boxes so that dialing will be automatic. Then I get an
error message --- wrong un and pw.

In my another computer (WinXP Pro), same setting works fine using same
un and pw.

Why are the correct un and pw rejected when it was made automatic
connection in this XP Home computer? I suspect it has something to do
with registry settings such as DefaultUsername. Or does this problem
happen only to XP Home?
Please help.

The reason you are getting the error has nothing to do with
automatic/manual settings; it is because the username and/or password
you entered in when setting up the account is/are incorrect. You may
have had capslock on, or mistyped something. The connection username
and password settings have nothing to do with the Default Username on
the computer.

Re-enter the username and password correctly and check your connection
settings to make sure they exactly match the ones on the computer that
works.

Yes! It worked!
Why was un and/or pw rewritten or altered when settings/options was
unchecked, which seemingly has nothing to do with un or pw? a bug?
Thanks a lot anyway.
