Reply with quote

When doing a backup / restore operation in Win XP Pro, I can move the file rasphone.pbk (usually in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk) to the new PC and it will have all my connections but without logins and passwords.

In my laptop, I have ca 50 dial-up connections set-up for various countries and various ways I have to connect when travelling.

Re-entering the logins and passwords each time I do a reinstall or change my laptop is fastidious. Isn't there a way to backup / restore the "Network connections" with the logins and passwords?

There are seemingly a few dialer programs available (like InJoy or Amazing Dialer), that could maybe replace the "Network Connections". Any advice about such programs?

Thanks k027, but unfortunately not. That program simply retrieves the passwords and saves them in a txt file; it does not reinstall them in Network Connections. I do have a record of all my logins and passwords - so that was not an issue.
