-=PCTechTalk=- Re: setting up dial up

Earthlink may be having some issues with dial up. Check here for your area
but be aware they hardly ever post any trouble until after it is over.

Dial up requires that you put in your whole earthlink email address
sandy1943@xxxxxxxxxxxxx  in the user ID or account name.  Phone number does
not use area code if it is a local access number.

Did you get a DUN set up with new connection wizard in windows xp? (Dial Up
Network) set up your connection manually is on one of the pages, choose that
if you do not want to run their software. (or are you already running their
software?, I have never used that so cannot help if you are using it)

I have DSL but use dial up when at relatives on trips. The wizard works good
for dial up.

> 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.
