This is caused by not having a user logged in on the machine. You need to logni, even if not connected to a network, for Windows to activate the save password option. Go to Control Panel?Users and create a user there. If you just hit enter when asked for a new password, the user won't be prompted to login, but the system will automatically do it. You should then be able to save the dial-up networking passwords.
