2000 Password Quirk ???

When setting up windows 2000 for a dial up connection, I checked the “remember this” box. When I re-booted the machine, the password was written twice ??? So, unless you wanted to manually enter the user name and password, you couldn’t get into the network !
I took it completely out (ie deleted the connection info) and when I re-installed it the same scenario happened. “Double password” ???
