We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
The Internet Connection Wizard does not configure Connection Manager for Internet Service Provider (ISP) Signup.



CAUSE
Some of the fields needed in the INS file are missing, and therefore the Internet Connection Wizard (ICW) does not know it needs to configure the Connection Manager.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add or modify the following fields in the INS file as follows:

[ClientSetup] Done_Message  Explore_Command 

[Custom] Run=icwconn2.exe

[Custom_Dialer] Auto_Dial_DLL=cmdial32.dll Auto_Dial_Function=_InetDialHandler@16

[Entry] Entry_Name=

Also make the following changes in the Template.cmp file, located in the CMAK\ENU directory, and rebuild your profile using CMAK:

[Connection Manager] RememberPassword=1

Additional query words: connection manager cm cmak
