Your right clicking on the "PCCW" connection straight in the "Network Connections" window and it brings up the "PCCW" connection "Properties" dialog?
From your picture it looks like you are bringing up the "Properties" dialog for the shortcut to the "PCCW" connection and not the actual connection properties.
I set up a new connection and had it create a shortcut, then I entered the "Properties" dialog to the shortcut and it looked exactly like what your picture shows. The actual connection "Properties" dialog will not have anything involving "Shortcut" and will contain 5 tabs, one of which will be the "Options" tab.
If you cannot find the actual connection, you should probably try setting up a new network connection. It should be fairly simple to do through windows and won't cause any problems to your existing connection.
Network Connections ->File -> New Connection
Tick "Connect to the Internet" Click "Next"
Tick "Set up my connection manually" Click "Next"
Tick "Connect using a broadband connection that requires a user name and password" Click "Next"
ISP Name is just what shows up as the title of the connection...use anything here. Could use "PCCW(2)" Click "Next"
Enter your user name and password in the appropriate boxes. Your provider should have given you these.
Untick "Make this the default Internet connection" Click "Next"
Click "Finish"
Test you connection and it should work provided there are not any advanced settings that are required to connect through your modem. Make sure you disconnect your current connection before connecting with your new connection.
If it works great...if not just delete it and you'll be back to square one and will not have done any harm and keep looking for the actual connection properties.
From there you should be able to right click on the new connection, enter the "Properties" dialog where there should be a "Options" tab where you'll be able to set up the connection properties to automatically log on without showing progress or prompts.
