Entered data is not retained

[ms]

I had a previous recent thread relating to the problem: "Save password in
DUN".

I have used this desktop machine for about 6 months, an AV check showed
nothing. The machine has been otherwise normal. Data in files is edited,
saved, retained normally. Scandisk shows a normal hard disk.

I can dial up, but when I run my browser, at every one of my usual
bookmarked sites, get "Server Not Found".

In Control Panel/Internet Connections, Properties, the DUN
icon, in domain, I had originally set it correctly, now it shows
mail.copper.ne :it is supposed to be net. I reentered the correct
mail.copper.net, closed that screen. Reopened the Properties screen, again
it reads: mail.copper.ne. Each time this happens, the "t" is omitted in
"net".

Setting data into a standard window, it is not completely retained. I have
never before seen this in various W98SE machines.

Advice?

I have never set up a DUN, but occasionally have fiddled with the one
NetZero has set up for me. I'm thinking your problem may lie somewhere
else, but check your DUN settings, anyhow, against this site...

http://www.modemsite.com/56k/connectoid.asp

That is all very good.

I was getting an error similar to that once, & the cure was in the
Properties of the server...

"OE, R-Clk server (such as msnews.microsoft.com), Properties, Server
tab"

That is where you need to enter mail.copper.net-- in the Account Name
field. (HOWEVER, if you have avast! virus scanner & have turned on the
Internet Mail Provider, there will be a number sign (#) preceeding it...
#mail.copper.net.)

To get the account in the first place...
"OE, Tools menu, Accounts, News tab, Add button, News"

(But I'm not really the expert in these things, & I prefer clicking an
URL, such as...
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion
...., which does everything except avast's part.)

I will go through that website, redo the steps.

In TCP/IP Properties/Advanced, one item was checked, not seen before:
Allow binding to ATM, no value was indicated. Since this problem is
unusual to me, and that is an unknown setting, don't know it's effect.

BTW, on a different computer about 6 months ago, with dark lines in the
display, you advised uninstall/reinstall the video drivers in Safe Mode,
will be doing that shortly.

Good news, that site had one item that made the difference. Buried in
Modem Properties, the comment that normally in Extra there is no INIT
string. This machine had MD or MU (hard to see), I deleted it, and did
one other thing. I checked Use this Script, entered the domain address
there, it persisted, rebooted, dialup, now can hear the modem and now can
browse normally.

So the INIT string and the domain not persisting were the issues. The
normal location to put the domain name, it still does not persist, but I
have a working unit again. Be thankful for small favors.

Glad to hear that! I have nothing in the Extra Settings box, myself, of
the Modem Properties. (Once, I did put something in there to see extra
lines in the modem log I think, but that is gone now.) As far as using a
script, there seems to be something like that in my ISP Properties. I
doubt I use one-- but, if it has cured your situation, that's just fine.

Yea. I guess you are OK now. I'm glad to see you worked it out from that
site & whatever other fiddling. (I don't know that this NetZero
connectoid of mine involves a domain at all or even what a domain is.
And I'm not sure I want to!)

I see that too, just like you report, at...

"Control Panel, Network, Configuration tab, highlight TCP/IP, Properties
button, click OK to dreadful warning, Advanced tab"

It's just as you say there. "Allow binding to ATM" shows up in the
Property window, & "No" is selected in the Value window. Let it be, I
guess, especially as things are working again.

You don't put *anything_like* "mail.copper.net" as a server name in any part
of a DUN connection's Properties. That's a mail server address and has no
business as part of a DUN connection. It's useful only to a program used to
send or retrieve email.

Furthermore, you *do_not* want to log onto any domain. That's probably
what's screwing up the connection. Sorry again that I don't have a DUN
connection in front of me for reference, but that item that is checked by
default that talks about logging onto a server should be unchecked, and any
server name left blank. Those options aren't used for a standard public DUN
ISP.

Thanks, Gary.

Now with a working DUN, as above, I will remove those entries, try it and
post back.

IIRC (a senior with bad sleep), I put the ISP data there in other
machines in the past, it worked. I guess you are saying the correct phone
number is all that's necessary?

You have a much better memory than I do, above is right, of course. I
deleted the entries I'd made, checked the "Automatically detect the ...",
DUN works fine again.

Phone number, any additional dialing instructions (9 to get outside line,
for instance.) Username and password. AFAIK, that's it. And I'm not *sure*
where the default "log on to server" switch is set, but it needs to be
unset. Personally, I'd leave the one you have alone and create a new one.
Put in only the phone number and dialing instructions (if any) and then
username and password when prompted. See if it works. If not, find that
setting that talks about logging on to a server and uncheck it.

I did try that, a new connectoid, nameed it, entered phone number,
username, password, set that one as default,

Dialup several times, reboot, finally, dialup works, modem sounds normal,
but there is a very long (1 minute or so) "logging on to network" delay
that was never there before, then the connection is made.

The old one did work better, but this one is simpler.
Tomorrow I will look for "that setting that talks about logging on
to a server and uncheck it".

ms

 

[Gary S. Terhune]

It's as I said... The default DUN connectoid works *except* for that "log on
to network" or "log on to server" setting (on the Advanced tab, I believe.)
That default setting needs to be unset for many if not most DUN connectoids.

It works fine now, as you suggested, I found the default setting "log on
to network" and unchecked it.

Based upon your data, this summarizes what worked for me, useful for next
time.

1. Create new connectoid.

2. In Properties:
a. Username
b. Password
c. Phone number- enter area code and phone number as one entry.

3. In Advanced: Uncheck Log on to Network

4. Network:
a. Remove NetBEUI
b. Select TCP/IP
c. Select MS Family Logon

5. Dialup, enter password, if working, a connection.

6. Disconnect.

7. Dialup again enter password, check Save Password box.

May have omitted something, if so please comment.

Thanks for your help.
