So, this isn't really a problem except that you don't want to have to type the ppp username and password, right? At this point you should be able to use ftp, ping, run netscape, telnet, etc. > If we then set up Dial-Up Networking > on Win95 so that it does not give us the dialog box, the system (Win95) > waits for a long time and finally says that it could not make a > connection. What is the problem? Thanks. I think the problem is that it needs a script containing the username and password. There's something called a dial-up scripting tool that comes on the cdrom version of Win95 and may be downloadable from Microsoft's web page. Annelise
