Emulation Types

Issue

Dial-Up Networking pops up and prompts me for username and password when I start PASSPORT.

Solution

This is caused by a setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer. To fix, do the following:

1. In Internet Explorer, select Internet Options from the Tools menu
2. Click on the Connections tab.
3. Make sure the Dial the default connection when needed option is un-checked.
4. Click OK to save.

More Information

• This type of configuration is recommended for a PC that is normally directly connected to the Internet via a Local Area Network (LAN). With Internet Explorer configured this way, the user will have to establish a dial-up connection manually before launching Internet Explorer or before establishing a remote PASSPORT session.
