Double Click to open properties on 'Client for Microsoft Networks' if it
appears in the listbox under Control Panel, Networks.  Change the Network
Logon Options to 'Quick logon'.  The password prompt will disappear.
Alternatively, you can track down the network resource it is trying to
reconnect, and remove / disconnect it.  Windows is not trying to
authenticate you as a network user (you disabled that by changing to
'Windows logon'), it's assuming that the resource might have restricted
permissions, so it needs to know who is reconnecting to it, whatever it is.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Network Password Screen


I have a simple problem that is driving me crazy. I recently worked with my
ISP regarding connecting to the internet. He had me do several things
including removing and adding my TCP/IP adapters. Now whenever I boot I get
a screen asking for my Network Password. I click OK several times and a
screen comes up telling me the Proxy Authorization failed. I do not use a
Network Password nor a Proxy. Even when the screen is there I can still go
on-line, check mail etc. I just want to stop it from appearing. I checked
Network in Control Panel and I am set for Windows Log On (although it was
Client for Networks after my ISP was finished messing things up). My
bindings under TCP/IP properties are the same for my other computer.

I am running Win98SE. Any ideas appreciated.
