OK, Here is my situation. I am moving into a new home. My computer connected to the internet at my old home fine. Now when I try to connect, it tells me that the remote computer is not responding. I have tried about 10 different access numbers and even another ISP (Netzero). I noticed that sometimes when it says "dialing".... it stops and a popup windows says that there has been a hardware failure with my modem. But here is the thing. When I have it dial the 1-800 # to get access #'s, it will connect fine and DL the access #'s like normal. But when I try to dial up to the internet, it will give me the erroe like before. Here are my specs:
Windows XP PRO
2.66GHz P4 512mb RAM
240GB HD.
ISP is Earthlink
I called there tech support and the Asin lady I talked to didn't know her butt from a hole in the ground and suggested that since the 1-800 # worked for me, I should use the 1-800 # for dial up internet. But it is 10 cents per minute. What an idiot.
Should I uninstall the modem and reinstall it and all the drivers? I just don't understand why it worked with the 1-800 #.
Can someone help me with some suggestions? Please don't tell me to get DSL. I can't get it in my area yet. That sucks!
