After Dial Terminal

Posted in Windows at 9:10 am by Keith

I ran into a dial-up problem that I’de never seen for the first time in quite a while. Windows dial-up has a terminal login feature built into it. A user had inadvertently turned on this feature, so his dial-up connection attempted to make a terminal connection after dialing.

To make sure this option is disabled:

1. Click start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.

2. Right-click the dial-up connection on which you want to use Terminal, and then click Properties.

3. On the Security tab, make sure the Show terminal window check box is unchecked.
