    I have several Networking connections on an XP machine, consisiting of Modem dial up, VPN, Wireless etc.

    I would like to copy these over to another machine without having to set everyting up from scratch, is there anyway to do this?

    Thanks

    I don't know of any and at a guess, there probably is no reasonable way to do it.

    I wonder if you could copy over the registry settings. I've had a quick look at my Win 2k systems, and they don't seem to be in one place, which makes it more difficult. However, I still think it is worth looking through the registry to identify the keys holding the DUN information and seeing if you can transfer those to the new PC.

    I had a look at my registry too and think that it will probably be easier to recreate all the connnections rather than copy over registry entries. The relevant entries are spread over so many keys that I could never be sure I was going to get everything.

    I am sure that I once managed to save a dial-up connection to floppy disc from a Win95 machine several years ago, but can't remember how I did it, and I dont have a 95 machine to look at anymore.
