I have MSN as my ISP, when you click on the butterfly to connect to the
internet via dialup, It brings up the signon screen. I have put a password
in effect here to make sure the kids ask permission before just going on the
internet. Well, there is a tab at the top called "forgot you password", you
click on it and it says in order to process your request I need to connect to
the internet, you press OK and bang, you are connected to the internet
withouot ever putting in the password. Kind of defeats the purpose of the
password, because the kids can connect this way. Is there a way to diable
that feature?
