Incorrect Password When Connecting to a Standalone Dial-Up Networking Server

System TipThis article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you. Visit the Windows Vista Solution Center
This article was previously published under Q241891

SYMPTOMS

When you connect to a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) server and you type your user name and password, you may be prompted to reenter the password.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the password for the DUN server is required.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, type the password that is configured on the DUN server. To obtain the password, contact your network administrator.

MORE INFORMATION

When you dial in to a DUN server, you can specify a user name and a password in the Connect To dialog box. The password must match the password that is configured on the DUN server. The password for dial-up authentication is not stored in the local user's password (pwl) file.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
