I have been using Vista 64 for a while, once I installed AT&T Global Network
Client for VPN, my all type of Dial-up stopped working (I had Blue Tooth
Device Dial-up with my Windows Mobile, Even if I try to setup a dial-up
connection using my Internal modems, it says is the modem connected, is the
modem switched on? – So I figured out right now, it can’t setup any dial-up
using any of those modems, Also, I have some tried with some other cell phone
modems, but none of them though when I query that modem, and diagnose it
shows that that modem exists and get responses from them.



Also, whenever I turn off – turn on my Wireless connection, the windows Host
process crashes, sometime it crashes without that as well. This is the second
time – I have installed Vista Ultimate 64 bit for my HP Pavilion tx1000, and
it seems like – I will have to either wait for Windows 7 or going back to XP
to trust MS OS. Had so much respect for Microsoft, but Vista seems like
telling me “Astalavista baby�

Forgot to Mention: VPN Never worked....

This same thing happened to me; below is my fix for what I'm calling:
“ RasMan hides the dial-up modem after installing Vista SP1 �.
( RasMan is the “ Remote access connection manager � service )

After installing Vista's SP1 ( so I could install IE8-RC1 )
The following would fail, claiming I had no dial-up modem:
―▶ Start ―▶ Settings ―▶ Control Panel ―▶ Network and Sharing Center
―▶ Setup a Connection or Network ―▶ Setup a Dial-up Connection

RasMan whouldn't “ Start � because
SP1 introduced this new dependency ( which, for me, won't start ):
the “ Secure Socket Tunneling protocol � service:
―▶ Start ―▶ Run ―▶ MsConFig ―▶ Tools ―▶ [ Launch ] Computer Management
―▶ Services and Applications ―▶ Services
―▶ [ Standard View/Name ] Secure Socket Tunneling protocol

The “ Secure Socket Tunneling protocol � fails with:
“ error 1079: The account specified [ is the wrong one ] ... �.
To remove RasMan's dependency on it, I:

1. Ran “ System Restore �, unDoing SP1 ( unInstalling wasn't enough ).
2. Exported ( to RasMan.REG ) this branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan

3. reInstalled Vista's SP1.
4. “ Merged � RasMan.REG back into the Registry,
to unDo RasMan's dependency on the S.S. Tunneling protocol.

5. Then “ Setup a Dial-up Connection � worked, the modem was detected.
