Dial-up networking is usually part of My Computer. I don't think it's
available from Control Panel in Win98 except in a round about manner--
its Properties are also accessible from IE Settings, Connections tab.
However, I don't think any of Ogg's advice will help you. What I do to
get things back the way you want is to go to IE Settings, Connections
tab, Settings, and delete the password found there. This assumes you
know the password and can put it in again when asked. Otherwise, delete
the username after copying it down. This will force the Dial-Up dialogue
to appear when you next try to connect. You can then uncheck the
"Connect Automatically" item.
Leave "Always dial my default connection", or "Dial whenever a network
connection is not present" checked in IE Settings, Connections tab, or
you won't get a dial-up prompt.After deleting the password or username,
open IE and try to go to an address that isn't likely to be stored
locally, that insists on refreshing, and that will force a dial-up
prompt--Microsoft.com, for instance.
