| Thebeatison Tl Posts: 1 | Posted - 9/18/2000 10:19:07 AM    I am a novice at modem issues, but I HAD a perfectly operational modem until saturday. When I invoke dialup networking, the operation completes until my password is authenticated, and then the modem drops the connection. I have swapped modems with an older 28.8, and still have the same problem. I switched phone lines to my house line as a test, no difference. I ran system file checker, and uninstalled and reinstalled tcp/ip and dial up networking, no change. I think there is something fundamental that I am missing. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, |

To do this: try to connect again, and when the modem has completed the handshake, a black terminal window will pop up. If the terminal window is full of garbage (lines and lines of unreadable text), then either your ISP doesn't support a terminal connection, or your modem isn't compatiable with the ISP's. Hopefully you'll be prompted to enter your username. Do this, then press enter. Then you'll be prompted for a pw. Do this then press enter. you should now be given an IP address. CLick on Continue F7. If you are now disconencted, then you should re-install Communications from the add/remove programs applet in your control panels. |
