When I try save the password for my dial-up connection, the password is repeated twice, so I have to always re-enter the password when I try to log on.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Do not know what you mean by "re-enter" your password. If you save your password, the password screen will keep coming but ignore it. just dial without supplying it. else, check the properties of your dial up connection, on the options tab Deselect "Prompt for name and password".

What happens is when the dial-up dialog appears, we are given the option to save the password, and automatically dial-up. When I save the password, the next time I try to dial-up, the password is entered as 10 characters, instead of 5, for example. So I have to delete the saved password and re-enter the 5 character password again. The save password function is not working.

I have already gone through dial-up properties, and re-entered the password, but this doesn't help.

Any ideas on how to correct this?

Hi,
It doen't matter what length your password is, it will alsways come up as 10 digits. I assume that this is a form of security, to stop others trying to break your password, by not giving them a clue as to its length.
