SYMPTOMS
When you change the modem that a Dial-Up Networking connectoid is
configured to use, the settings for that connectoid return to their
default values. These settings include modem-specific settings such as
speaker volume and maximum speed, and also include settings such as the
type of Dial-Up server you are connecting to and the TCP/IP settings to
use (if you use TCP/IP). If you change back to the modem the connectoid
was originally configured to use, the settings are not restored.
CAUSE
In a Dial-Up Networking connectoid, all settings except the phone number
are associated with a specific modem. If you change the modem a connectoid
is configured to use, the settings are returned to their default values.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods:
- If you need to use two different modems with a Dial-Up Networking
connectoid, create two connectoids, each of which is configured to use
one of the modems.
- Install the Dial-Up Networking 1.3 Upgrade. For information about the
Dial-Up Networking 1.3 Upgrade, please see the following article in
