auto network logon (W98)

[gopcs]

I enabled Auto Network Logon via TweakUI. It worked properly for quite a while (months). Now it quit logging on. I can logon manually. I found the REGEDIT info, and my registry was correct.
Any ideas why it doesn't work now???
Thanks.

gopcs,

By any chance do you use a cable modem hookup? I had my auto login working beautifully until. . .
My cable company did some upgrading & put everything back the way it had been.

gopcs,

And finally, if all else fails:

1. Disable the autologon within TweakUI.

2. Go to Start>Find>Files & Folders... type in *.pwl and delete all .pwl files in c:\windows

3. Go to start>Run, type sysedit. Maximize the system.ini
Delete all lines under
[Password Lists]

4. Go to ControlPanel>Network
Choose Windows Logon as Primary Login

Reboot

You should now get the login box one last time. Type in your name. Just click OK for no password.

Not yet, try:
Backup the registry and/or export the following keys:
go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr ent version\network\real mode net\
Right-click on Real Mode Net, choose new>Binary value, name it AutoLogon
and give it a value of 01 00 00 00.
