    Hi,
    I recently got DSL, and installed a router as a firewall. So I now have
    one computer and a router as my network. When I boot up windows, I
    get a logon box " Windows Network Password " . ( Not the regular Windows
    logon ). So, every time I boot up the computer, I have to go back and
    type in the new password, or it just sits there halfway though startup.
    As I am not exactly concerned about network security, is there a way
    to eliminate this logon box so the computer just boots as usual?
    I am running Windows 98, Netgear wired router, Netgear ethernet card.
    Thanks!

    PS: Thanks for the great website!

    No more annoying logon!

    Steve,
    I toggled down and set the Primary Windows Logon to
    "Windows Logon" and that seems to take care of it.
    Thanks for the assist!!!
