Export / Import of Dialup Contacts

[shmoes]

Hi,

I figure this could go in XP or ME, because it has to do with both .. but I decided to start here.

I have a laptop with windows ME on it, and i want to know if i can export all the dialup contacts and then import them into windows XP without having to recreate them all .. as i have quite a few.

any help is appreciated.

thx!

I would expect that XP's File & Settings Transfer wizard would be able to import Dial Up Networking connections and this seems to agree. You might have to a little bit of manipulation, like telling the FAST wizard that you will be saving the file to a network share. Just be careful not to transfer something that you might not want.
