Default Network login screen...



I'm using a wireless network to share a cable internet connection. I have
WinME on the primary machine with the router and WinXP on the secondary with
an adapter. When I boot the primary machine I get a log-in window where I'm
asked to enter my network password. Sometimes I do that & other times I just
click 'cancel'. Is there a way to stop that network log-in window from
appearing every time I turn on the computer?

Thanks

Silas

Go to Control Panel | Network and set the primary network logon to
Windows Logon. Reboot, and log on with a user name and no password.
It won't ask for a logon again.

Steve, thank you much, that worked. After I rebooted nothing asked for a
user-name or password. I appreciate your help.
