I use windows XP. When dial-up and Windows Terminal is opens but could not type the user id in. just time out after few minutes. The buttons "Done" and "Cancel" works. When pressed button "Done" it tries to connect to remote system but fails as the userid/password were not keyed in.

Can you help, please?

Sorry, I don't understand your term "Windows Terminal"; is it like a login screen? Can you give us a screenshot if not?

You write that you "could not type the user id in"; what happens if you try? Just nothing? Can you try to paste the userid?

Also, is this something new happening - did work before?

Hi Pat,

See attached. The first screen is the setup for Terminal window: " Show Terminal Window". The second screen is the "terminal window". I need to type username but it does not accept any key strokes. When typed nothing happens. Cannot paste either.

It was working before. I must have done some changes to Network setup somewhere (but do not remember what).

Regards,

Harsha

OK, I understand now - this is some kind of hyper terminal or terminal adapter. Are you trying to login to some Unix system?

Can you try to use a different adapter, e.g. PuTTY?

Not sure what's the login system is. Other end works as a remote access server. Once in I will use an IP address to Telnet to a Mainframe system.

Dial-up using phone connection is the only option that was given.

There are few people using this dial-up in this area and no one has come across this problem.
