tmhsiao's Journal: Win2k: Internet Connection Wiz: Connection Name problem

From a usenet post to alt.os.windows2000 by Gerry Kroll:

Error:

"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

Solution:

Your problem is a corrupt RASPHONE.PBK file. It has a false end-of-file character in it. Essentially, the EOF character defines a file size that doesn't match what's recorded in the folder's directory.

Since you're going to re-create the entries anyway, simply search for all occurrences of RASPHONE.PBK and delete them.
