Unable to Cancel During Dialing in Dial-Up Networking

ID: Q228193

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

Once you start a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) connection (for example, by double-clicking the connection), you cannot halt the connection process by clicking the Cancel button.


CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the display progress while connecting has been disabled by default for Windows 2000 DUN connections.


RESOLUTION

To alter this behavior so you can cancel an in-progress connection:

  1. Right-click the connection, and then click Properties.


  2. Click the Options tab.


  3. Click to select the Display progress while connecting check box.


  4. Click OK.


This allows a connection to be canceled after it has started dialing.


STATUS

This behavior is by design.
