318606 2005-01-27 19:53:00 I have a Dimension 4300 running XP. I have just moved from broadband to dial-up. I have had considerable difficulty in getting it to connect to the ISP. Initially the ISP would note that it was trying to get in but something wasn't happening. Changing a few settings allowed it to connect but now it times out due to no password information being passed across. Is this a problem with the modem, software or ISP. I don't think it is the latter as I was able to get in using another computer using some user name and password.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

318609 2005-01-29 17:20:00 It's probably a software problem Muzz, you didn't say weather you had a firewall installed. If you have Zonealarm check your programs approved for internet access? Otherwise if I was you I would use your Internet connection wizard again, you might have got a setting wrong when you first set-up ? Hope it helps. kiwicasperguy (7017)
