If you are having problems trying to get DUN to remember your password and you find the option grayed out then there are a few things you can try.

1. Make sure you have Client for Microsoft Networks installed on your system.

    Control Panel > Networking > Add > Client > Microsoft > Microsoft Networking.

2. Your Windows startup is configured to ask for a password and you are hitting the esc key when the logon box is displayed.

3. You have a corrupted password file. Do a search for *.pwl in the Windows folder and rename all the files you find. Note - this will force you to rebuild your password files from scratch.

4. Check the Registry:


HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\Real Mode Net

If you see autologon (on the right side) with a value of "00 00 00 00", double-click on it, and change the value to "01 00 00 00 00".

Exit RegEdit and restart the PC.
