-=PCTechTalk=- Re: setting up dial up

ok
do you need the area code for a local call?
if not, make sure you dont have dialing properties box checked
if you do, put the area code with the number i.e. 5235551212
let me know if you still have problems

> I have my new laptop! YAHOO  now am trying to get Earthlink to work, it
dials and then nothing, says the numbers do not answer I called Earthlink
and spent 2 hours on phone with an totally dummy!  ON top of everything else
he tried to blame the phone company that the phones wouldn't work, and guess
what Like DELL Earthlink is using people in India and they can't understand
us and I had to ask him to repeat several times,  they speak to fast for me
to understand - and I always considered myself pretty smart but when you run
all the words together.....  Anyway, excuse the anger that slipped out,
> MY question is does anyone know the settings I might need to change on the
computer to get the modem to work with earthlink? The computer works find
with AOL but it will not work with Earthlink.  Suggestions anyone? I have
cable on this computer at home so don't have to deal with this.  ugh...   OH
Yes it will dial the 1-800 number too and connect.  but when it comes to the
others...  it dials and then you hear it make that funny sounds like it's
trying to connect but no answering connect sounds happen.
