RE: IEAK/CMAK problem ... please help ...
Hello Armin,
I am having this exact same issue with the Internet Password not being
present. Are you using Connection Manager 1.3? Also, I found this article
which sounds like it may be relevent (or at least point us in the right
direction): http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;148925
Only problem is, with my Connection when I go to properties I do not have a
Networking Tab present?!?! I'm assuming this is a "feature" of CMAK, either
that or I have a bigger problem than I first thought!
On that note, does anyone know how to show the Netowrking Tab on a CMAK
Connection, or change networking settings whilst creating the Connection
using CMAK 1.3????
HELP!!!!

Hi Danny,

Yes, I use 1.3 (from a 2003 server CD)

Don't think that this article is useful, it looks like Windows 98 stuff
(.pwl files - never saw such a thing in NT). I have found a different
lead that looked **really** promising: MS-KB 893609 "Preset connection
manager credentials may not work in Windows XP" looks exactly like it
would match. I have ordered the Hotfix, and tried it, but it doesn't
change anyting.

I think that what you mean are network settings (like the athentication
and encryption protocols supported ...?. You may specify them when you
run through the cmak. There are two menus where you specify a kind of
"service profile": one for the tunnel connection, and another for the
underlying DUN connection. Both do suppoort an "edit" buttin where you
can make your choices. You may also change the .cms file if you want,
the format is pretty straightforward to read.
