SYMPTOMSWhen you are using Dial-Up Networking, you may experience the following symptoms:
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you are not currently logged on to Windows 95.
If you click Cancel in the logon dialog box that appears when Windows 95
is starting, your password cache list file is not opened, and your
passwords cannot be saved.
RESOLUTIONTo work around this behavior, use one of the following methods: Method 1When you start Windows 95, do not click Cancel in the logon dialog box. If you do not have a password, create a new one by typing it in the Password box, or create a null password by clicking OK. If you create a null password, you are no longer prompted to log on to Windows 95 when Windows 95 starts. Creating a null password does not prevent other people from accessing your computer, but does allow you to save your password when you are using Dial-Up Networking or a shared network resource.NOTE: Creating a null password does not allow you to save your Dial-Up Networking password if you are using user profiles. Using user profiles prevents the Dial-Up Networking password from being saved. To restart Windows 95 so that you receive the logon dialog box, use the appropriate method. Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Not Installed: Click Start, click Shut Down, click "Close all programs and log on as a different user", and then click OK. Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Installed: Click Start, click Log Off <username>, and then click Yes. Method 2Install the client for Microsoft Networks or the client for NetWare Networks in Network properties.MORE INFORMATION
Password cache list files are associated with individuals. If you do not
log on to Windows 95, Windows 95 does not know who you are, and cannot
open your password cache list file.
