The Windows connections assisstant asks for the password of course
(also pre-filled since entering it in the wizard before).

I don't understand.  There is no browser at this point. We used Windows
to set up the conenction, and entered our Username and PW as required.
Then whenever we start this connection (read: double click on it in the
connection manager of Windows, in the control panel), it pops up the
dialog box with the username and password pre-filled, then we just
click "connect/ok", and windows connects us to the iunternet. Then we
can start a web browser or whatever, and use the net.

Why do I feel that I am talking chinese ?! :-(
It's all so simple, I don't understand how what I am asking is
unclear :-/
