355249 2005-05-15 05:05:00 Open Regedit (Start --> Run --> regedit --> ok)
Navigate to HKey_Local_Machine --> System --> CurrentControlSet --> Services --> Rasman --> PPP --> EAP
Left click on EAP there should be 4 keys > 13,4,25,and 26
Delete the keys 25 and 26
Reboot the PC
Try to setup a new connection - the problem should now be fixed
If those 4 keys are not visible, check the modem is properly configured and dialling rules are set up correctly in control panel.

Just my pure curiosity, how do you know the modem is working properly? I am not doubting over your computer skills.

Cheers :) Control Panel> Phone and modems>click on the modem then click on Properties; then Diagnostics tab and click on query modem.
If modem is fine you will get success message
