Unable to Configure TCP/IP Settings for Dial-Up Networking

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

SYMPTOMS

When you try to use the Network tool in Control Panel to configure some of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) settings for Dial-Up Networking in Windows Millennium Edition (Me), you may be unable to do so.

CAUSE

This issue can occur because some TCP/IP settings for the Dial-Up Networking adapter have been removed from the Network tool in Control Panel. However, in Windows Me, you can configure TCP/IP settings for each connection that calls a network.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, configure TCP/IP settings for Dial-Up Networking connections by clicking the TCP/IP Settings button on the Networking tab for each individual connection in the Dial-Up Networking folder.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

In most cases, TCP/IP properties are unique to the specific network that you are calling. In previous versions of Windows, properties that were set for TCP/IP that is bound to the Dial-Up Networking adapter override the per-connection settings. Windows Me prevents this behavior by only allowing you to configure TCP/IP properties for each connection that calls a network.
