Get Dial-up Networking to Remember Your Password
Sometimes, no matter how many times you check the Save Password box, Dial-Up Networking (DUN) just won't do it. This is a fairly common problem.
Two quick tips will fix most instances of this problem. First, you must be logged on for Windows to remember passwords. That means don't hit Esc when Windows asks you to log on. If you don't want to type a Windows log-on password each time, leave your password blank under the Passwords Control Panel applet.
Second, DUN will not remember a password unless you've made a successful connection to the server.
If these approaches don't work, the next step is to remove and reinstall DUN. First, download the most recent version of DUN before you disable the present one. You'll find it here if you're a Windows 95 user and here if you're a Windows 98 user.
Open the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. Select the Windows Setup tab. Click Communications, then Details. Click on the Dial-Up Networking checkbox once to clear it, click OK, and then restart your computer when you are prompted to do so.
After the reboot, install the new DUN and try again.
