Unable to Cancel During Dialing in Dial-Up Networking

 * }

Q255738

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

-

SYMPTOMS
Once you start a Dial-Up Networking (DUN) connection (for example, by double-clicking the connection), you cannot halt the connection process by clicking the Cancel button.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the display progress while connecting has been disabled by default for Windows 2000 DUN connections.

RESOLUTION
To alter this behavior so you can cancel an in-progress connection:


 * 1) Right-click the connection, and then click Properties.
 * 2) Click the Options tab.
 * 3) Click to select the Display progress while connecting check box.
 * 4) Click OK.

This permits a connection to be canceled after it has started dialing.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
