SYMPTOMS
When you connect to a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) server and you type your user name and password, you may be prompted to reenter the password.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the password for the DUN server is required.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, type the password that is configured on the DUN server. To obtain the password, contact your network administrator.



MORE INFORMATION
When you dial in to a DUN server, you can specify a user name and a password in the Connect To dialog box. The password must match the password that is configured on the DUN server. The password for dial-up authentication is not stored in the local user's password (pwl) file.
