Unknown problem

I have been going into my favorites and trying to connect to several different web sites. I am getting the good old "Page cannot be displayed" When I go to tools, Internet Options, Connections, Settings I see the password is not the same as on my dialup password. Has some one hacked me or is this something I should get used to?

I ran hijack this. Here is the log file. Can some one tell me whats going on?

I would like to report that the solution has been found. My server provided me with the info that Microsoft has added a little feature that hides a possible solution to your password. In my password there are ? charactures. Microsoft has added 8 so that any potential hacker will be guessing. Say for an example my password was ** microsoft made it **********. Interesting concept. Im starting to like this.
