Dial up Connection problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Trying to set up a new dial up connection. When I get to the menu item to
select dial up or lan, the dial up is grayed out. I checked in the
"Services" program and the Network Connections is started and on Automatic.
Is there another service that is blocking the process?

Thanks,

Bob

1) To resolve this problem, reinstall SP1 for Windows XP.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Then:

2)Delete the NextID value

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Cards\NextID

3) Restart the computer.

4) Open Regedit again and delete the Telephony key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony.

Additionally, see www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 87, Left column, Dial-up Modem or PPPoE is Unavailable. See the instructions at the top of the page for using REG files.
