I have installed a USR Internal Modem, was workin ok.. and then all of the
sudden, it won't let me log on. It connects fine. Just won't login.. it
thinks that I have the wrong password and keeps kickin up the password
screen. Just to make sure I didn't have the wrong password, I tried about 4
other accounts that I knew, and none of them worked.  I cannot login at all.
Ran the tests on the modem, and it passes fine. Haven't found anything from
Microsoft about this.. BTW, this is a Win 98 machine... with Office 2000.

If you have any idea's, please reply, or email me.   Thanks

Other possibilities:

1. If you have numerals in your password, and you use the numeric
keypad to enter the numeric portion(s) of your password (PW), make
sure the numlock is on.

2. Try using the actual dialup networking icon, itself, if you aren't
already, and retype both the login name and password,

3. Check your Diaulup networking icon's settings, and try disabling
the "Log On to Network" option, if it isn't already.

4.  Deleting any .pwl files on the machine.  This will erase the PW
library & may reset the problem.

5.  If you are using Internet explorer, in the control panel, in the
Internet/Internet Options section, go to connections, settings and
retype both the Login name and password.

6.  Make sure your Primary network login, in the control panel
network, is set to windows login.

7. If the WINS resolution in the network is still on use DHCP, try
disabling it.  This will require you to use your OS installation
medium (CABs, CD or Diskettes) but it will also freshen up the network
components which may be fouled.

8. Reisntall/Update your modem drivers.

9. Uninstall communications from the windows setup, reboot, reisntall
communications & reassart network components in the network, reboot.

Some of these solutions may work, depending on your machine and the
necessary settings your ISP requires.

IWS - A tech who'd rather no take any responsibility now that he's not
at work.

PS.  Unless you need a gateway setting, make sure to define all the
connection properties in the dialup networking, as opposed to 
setting them in the network, it makes it more flexible.

you could also try going into the properties of your dial-up icon in dial-up
networking, then go to the options tab, place a check mark in terminal
screen after dial up, and hit enter alll the way out, try to login again, if
it happens again, look to see if your getting alot of garbage, or a login
prompt, if it's garbage, the modem is screwed

Had the same problem on my Dell dimension xps r400� w/ 3com internal 56k model
5687 running win98 several weeks ago - Problem is in op system recognizing
modem. To correct -- go to control panel and select modems - remove your modem
selection. Reboot system and then re-install modem when it's recognized by
system.Should solve problem :-)
