Why doesn't the dial-up icon display in the [Dial-up Settings] box of the [Connections] tab in the [Internet Properties] dialog box? Also, when I click the [Add] button in the [Dial-up Settings] box, the following error message appears and the addition process fails.

I double-clicked on the [Make New Connection] icon in the [Network and Dial-up
Connections] window and enter a preferred name in [Step 3: Computer Configuration]
on [Internet Connection Wizard] to establish the settings for dial-up connection. However, the following error message appears and I cannot click the [Next] button.

--Error message--
"Connection to ***" is not a valid name.
The entry name must contain at least one character that is not a space
and cannot begin with a period. Choose a different name."

* [***] refers to the name you have entered in [Step 3: Computer Configuration].

I cannot connect to the Internet from applications such as [Outlook Express] since the dial-up icon cannot be located.

Firstly, check if [Service Status] of the [Event Log] service is set to [Started]. If [Startup type] of [Event Log] is set to [Manual], Event Log stops in the state right after the startup. This symptom occurs when [Event Log] is not set to [Started].
Please refer to the following procedure to set the [Event Log] service to [Started].

--Procedure--
1) Click [Start] -> [Settings] -> [Control Panel].

2) When the [Control Panel] window appears, double-click on the [Administrative Tools] icon.

3) Double-click on the [Services] icon when the [Administrative Tools] window appear.

6) The [Service Control] dialog box appears and the Event Log service starts.

7) When you have confirmed the start of the Event Log service, click [OK].

8) Even after completing the above procedures, no icon appears in the [Network and Dial-up Connections] window. However, you can connect to the Internet from applications such as [Outlook Express] and even create new settings from [Internet Connection Wizard].

--Remarks--
As long as [Startup type] in the [Event Log Properties (Local Computer)] dialog box is set to [Manual], Event Log stops in the state right after the startup of the computer as mentioned above.
