Enter Network Password

[pedruid]

I closed my telkom DSL Data account today having switched to MWEB.
This keeps cropping up on my screen requesting me to enter my password.
Can anyone advise me how to get rid of this.
BABY STEPS PLEASE.

Go to your network connection settings in control panel and delete the PPPoE dialer interface.

Thanks ponder. I have done as advised but it still keeps coming back. Very annoying.
Anyone with other ideas?

Windows will attempt to initiate the default dial-up connection whenever it thinks that it is not connected to the internet, and an internet request is made.

It would seem that the current default dial-up connection is the M-Web connection, so windows keeps trying to start that one.
Change the default dial-up connection to the new one, or remove the MWeb ones' "Default" setting.

In addition, there is a setting in Internet Explorer where you can force it to initiate a dial-up connection before it will begin browsing, you may want to check there for that setting and disable it or choose the new connection.

I know how to do this in WinXP Pro, let me know if that's the operating system you're using.
