The ATM binding isn't relevant. The missing login prompt is a common
problem in Windows 95/98/Me. It can happen even when you've done
everything right. The most likely fix is to run the registry editor,
open this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net
and delete the value named "AutoLogon". This web site explains how to
do it:
