DUN Error 629-Registry corrupt?

[soundnut69]

Hi there.

I'm having an issue with my Toshiba Libretto 70. This sub-notebook has only one PCMCIA slot, and I use a Megahertz CC10BT/2 10mbps ethernet card to access high-speed internet at work and a Megahertz 3CXM556 56k modem for at-home internet access. I just swap the cards when I want to switch internet connections. I am running Windows 98.

Here's the issue:

Installed Windows 98, DUN, and TCPIP,etc. Set up the modem & ethernet card drivers. Everything was working great for a few days. Then, every time I connect with my modem it dials out ok, and immediately gives me "Error 629-You have been disconnected from the computer you are dialing." I tried removing all of the protocols under "Network" in the control panel, and uninstalling Dial Up Networking & reinstalling everything (including the drivers)to no avail. Finally after many attempts to fix the issue, I just reformatted & reinstalled Win98. It fixed it for a few days and then *Poof*, the same issue again. I think maybe something in the registry is goofed up or maybe a Windows file is corrupt, but I have no idea where to go from here. My ethernet connection at work is still good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Bob

You need to enable encrypted passwords in your DUN setting.

There are multiple areas to explore here.
Stop after each step and try again. If the connection succeeds do not follow any later steps.

Best.
