I have a dial-up networking connection already set up on my Windows Vista
Home Basic machine, which is equipped with Service Pack 1. Yet, when I log on as one particular user, and then click Start Connect To, my dial-up networking connection does not appear, and the "Connect to a network" window says "Windows can't find any networks" when I am not connected, or "Windows cannot find any additional networks" when I am connected. At the same time, I find on my desktop a folder named "_hiddenPbk", which, when I open it, contains a file called "rasphone.pbk". I have just found out that this folder, as well as the file associated with it, belongs in the folder called "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk". I copied the "_hiddenPbk" folder from my desktop to this folder and restarted my machine, but the effort turns out to be for naught: My dial-up connection still does not appear in the "Connect to a network" window. This quandary is user-wide only, meaning that this predicament only happens when I log on to my Windows Vista machine as user "X" but not as user "Y" or "Z" or any other user. What's the issue here? I would appreciate any help you can provide in this matter. Thank you. Brandon Taylor |

This is a newsgroup and the people who try to help you are all volunteers. If you require immediate information and a resolution, call a computer tech to come on-site. Of course this won't be free but you will get your immediate requirement fulfilled. I don't recommend using a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place.

There's probably nobody here who can give a perfect answer since we are all volunteering our personal experiences and dial up problems can be difficult because less people use it these days. Seems to that you have a "User" problem rather than a dial up problem though, can you recall if that user was set up before the dial up was, or was he/she set up at the same time as the others? I had one machine recently where everything looked fine until the owner told me she had "Changed" some user names. I found that by deleting those users and recreating them her problems went away. I would try setting up a fake user and see if that works, if it does consider removing "x" or whatever and restart and recreate him. Yes I do realize that some user data may be lost but Vista seems to dislike identity "Changes". Brandon Taylor wrote: The information you have just provided did absolutely nothing for my problem.
