It might be working now, but.... I have all the settings as described in Jerry's post but sometimes it stops working. Here is what I've tracked down to fix it (note this is a reply I posted to another thread on the same subject, "Netscape and W2K Autodial Trouble"): I tracked down a registry key that seems to have a (major) effect on Autodial with Moz/NS. In regedit go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Control\Locations There should be a DWORD item with the *name* 1 (the digit one). Make sure it's *value* is 0 (zero). Over many months I have found that as long as this is set to zero then autodial works reliably with Moz/NS, although not quite as well as IE does, but then IE is part of the OS so has an advantage over Moz/NS in this respect. I don't know what changes the data of this item but every time autodial stops working with Moz I find that something has changed the *value* of this data item from 0 to 1 and changing it back starts autodial working again. BTW, Moz still gives "Failed to connect to server" if I go offline, disconnect from the 'net, go online (in Moz), then click Get Messages; I still have to start DUN again manually, after which Moz will connect OK.
