SYMPTOMS
When you start Internet Explorer or another Winsock-based program, Dial-Up Networking may not be automatically started.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Autodial settings in the registry are missing or damaged, or have been replaced by third-party values.



RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Modify the following registry settings to reflect the values shown:

Windows 98
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Autodial

Name                   Value AutodialDllName32      wininet.dll AutodialFcnName32      InternetAutodialCallback

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Parameters

Name                   Value -  MSTCP                   ""

Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4.0 or 4.01
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Autodial

Name                   Value AutodialDllName32      wininet.dll AutodialFcnName32      InternetAutodialCallback

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Parameters

Name                   Value -  MSTCP                   ""
