Multiple Dial-Up Networking Connections Have Same Extra Settings (188301)

This article was previously published under Q188301 SYMPTOMS
After you configure a Dial-Up Networking connection to use extra settings,
all subsequent connections you create for that modem may be automatically
configured with the same extra settings.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Dial-Up Networking updates the Modem.cpl file
when you create a connection with extra settings. When you create a new
connection for the same modem, the extra settings are automatically applied
to the new connection.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, manually install another copy of the same
modem driver and configure the extra settings separately. To do so, follow
these steps:
- Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-
click Modems.
- Click Add.
- Click the "Don't detect my modem; I will select it from a list" check
box to select it, and then click Next.
- Click the appropriate manufacturer and model, and then click Next.
- Click the appropriate communications port, click Next, and then click
Finish.
- Click the appropriate modem, and then click Properties.
- On the Connection tab, click Advanced, type the new extra settings in
the Extra Settings box, click OK, click OK again, and then click Close.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
