SYMPTOMS
When you configure Dial-Up Networking (DUN) in Windows NT 4.0 to use the automatic dialing feature to access the Internet, it may not automatically dial.

CAUSE
You may be using a SLIP account for your dial-up access.

RESOLUTION
Automatic dialing does not work with a SLIP account. If your Internet service provider (ISP) also offers a PPP account, you can configure automatic dialing to work with the PPP account.

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
