No Log In Dialog Box

When I turn on Windows 98, the dialog box requesting my
user name and password does not appear automatically. so
I have to "log off" and restart the computer to be
connected to my network. How can I get the box to appear
automatically, as it does on my other home computers?

The network is just four home computers connected by a
LinkSys router.

Thanks for any help I can get on this.

Using REGEDIT, open up the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net

and delete the value named "AutoLogon" if it exists.

Reboot the system and that should do it.
