SYMPTOMS
========

When you change the modem that a Dial-Up Networking connectoid is configured to
use, the settings for that connectoid return to their default values. These
settings include modem-specific settings such as speaker volume and maximum
speed, and also include settings such as the type of Dial-Up server you are
connecting to and the TCP/IP settings to use (if you use TCP/IP). If you change
back to the modem the connectoid was originally configured to use, the settings
are not restored.

CAUSE
=====

In a Dial-Up Networking connectoid, all settings except the phone number are
associated with a specific modem. If you change the modem a connectoid is
configured to use, the settings are returned to their default values.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods:

- If you need to use two different modems with a Dial-Up Networking connectoid,
  create two connectoids, each of which is configured to use one of the modems.

- Install the Dial-Up Networking 1.3 Upgrade. For information about the Dial-Up
  Networking 1.3 Upgrade, please see the following article in the Microsoft
