Talk:Autoconnect
Different path to "services" on my Win XP machine
On my Windows XP machine here, the path to services is
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Services
Microsoft are clearly getting *very* good at hiding these tools that allow other browsers to run properly on their operating system ;-)
Hangup?
Is there a way to access that hangup Program? It looks like it may help some people still on dial up? Is it still available? I got a 403 error. Should we remove it? --Mtz1of4 22:40, 17 Jan 2005 (PST)
Cannot connect to internet using cable connection.
I connect to the internet via a LAN to an "always on" cable connection. When I start Firefox it tries to establish a dialup connection which of course is not present. How do I get Firefox to talk to the internet?

How to apply 9x Dialup to XP:
I've seen these options also, which adds Net Logon and Network Connections. I don't use Dial up so can't confirm. Anybody?
- Go to settings,control panel. Administrative Tools, Services Shortcut.
- Scroll down to Net Logon. Right click Properties, Set to Automatic.
- Do likewise for Network Connections, Remote Access Auto Connection Manager and Remote Access Connection Manager.
- Return to Settings. Select Network Connections. Click Advanced -at the Top- Click Dialup Preferences. -Make sure "Always ask..." and "Disable autodial..." at the bottom are unchecked.
Addendum: This will restore the "dialing" box for Firefox or any other apps, also enable Auto Disconnect for the IE stuff. In other words, just like 9x.
- Go to Control Panel,Internet Options
- Connections,Settings,
- Properties,Options.
- Under "Dialing Options," check the first one "Display progress while dialing" and the third one, "Include Windows Logon Domain".
