| 507669 | 2006-12-18 09:35:00 | Try a diff modem. Win2k is easy peesy, I have win2k 99 to now and all you do is click new connection add the phone # and login straight away. It has never failed me in this time. Only issue for me is Clear Net dialup is crap and they have problems or redialling now and then but apart from that and certainly last yr and before it has worked without a issue. I had issue with modem which was fixed with a swap. I say, if it still not work after some hours or overnight then I think its the modem or the drivers. Is password and login correct? Can you login to check Paradise webmail fine? Password and login are definitely correct. The funny thing is that this modem works, and there are no problems connecting to and logging in to Paradise when I tried XP on the same computer. But, as you say, W2k should be fine. |

| 507670 | 2006-12-18 09:44:00 | Try a diff driver such as one specifically written for win2k. I've sort of had the opposite to you. win2k been fine for my dialup modem but on winXP if I use their drivers I only connect at 14k. I got around by a 3rd party driver for winXP conexant driver was I used. |

| 507671 | 2006-12-19 06:46:00 | I've followed the suggestions posted, thank you, except that instead of playing around with other drivers, I tried another modem. Only an internal winmodem, but one that normally works fine. Well, that other modem didn't fix anything. The computer dials up, the modem does its negotiating, which concludes as expected, and then it all hangs for a few seconds, changes to "verifying username and password" for 30 secs or so, and that is as far as it gets. The concluding error message is still "error 619: The specified port is not connected". :groan: |

| 507672 | 2006-12-19 07:07:00 | Go to Device Manager and double-click on your modem. Click "Advanced" and see if there is any anything in "Extra initialization commands". I am posting this message from Windows XP's point-of-view. Cheers :) |

| 507674 | 2006-12-19 07:46:00 | I am guessing its a screwed up windows. I think I had something like that with the network card or something, a format fixed it. Or sometimes the famous save password is always greyed out :D I think if you have time a reinstall? If you have broadband you may get around it with wireless ethernet. Last resort is try the other drivers, you never know. |

| 507675 | 2006-12-19 10:12:00 | Delete the modem from device manager and reboot and reload the drivers. Ring your ISP after you have tried to connect and ask them what error message shows at there end if any. They log everything. | berryb (99) | ||
