| 798785 | 2009-08-06 08:59:00 | Hi All...Again. My nextdoor neighbour has just gone from Infogen dialup to Orcon B/B. We have got him connected to the Internet ok & now have to configure his OE to his new name. I copied all the relevant data & entered new names etc& it wont connect to the net. It keeps asking for the User Name & Password in a box. It will not send & recieve. Any ideas please. This is quite a common problem innit? PJ |

| 798789 | 2009-08-06 09:36:00 | Delete the dialup connection in IE / Tools / options / connections. Or network connections. And recreate it with the Orcon dialup info. Its probably set as the default connection (with Imogen). Which is why its asking for the username / password (from the dialup acct). | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

I take it you mean Orcon B/B not dialup? In OE Accounts both ISPs appear & with Orcon as "default" it wont work. With the old account it does. I have had this problem before but damned if I can remember the cure. PJ |

Just had a look in my own IE as above & there is nothing in there. Same as his was. It seems that his old acct is connecting to the net but the new one is not. PJ |

| 798792 | 2009-08-06 09:58:00 | No since he was on dialup before with Imogen, there must be a dialup connection in network connections for it. You wont have 1 if you dont have a dial up modem and have never been on dialup | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 798794 | 2009-08-09 06:11:00 | Hi All. This problem has been resolved. Turned out to be a misspelt password by the helpdesk & our neighbours strong Scottish accent. Thanks for all the help. PJ |
