Hi all. I'm having a problem with a dial-up connection I'm trying to
establish. I'll try to put all the info in this post.
Ok. I have dsl service on my home phone that I use with my pc. I also have
a laptop that I am trying to get dial-up working on for when I'm out of the
house. I ordered the dial-up through my phone company (verizon). They sent
a disk that sets up your account then installs some sort of software. Right
after setting up the account (yes, the dial-up works during the set-up where
it dials out to talk to the verizon servers), I get one of those error
messages "This program has encountered a problem and needs to shut down."
with a button to notify or not notify microsoft. This error message comes
just as the cd is about to install the program.
After several tries and getting the same error message, I created a dial-up
connection myself. Put in the account name and password and the phone number
provided by verizon. The modem dials out, makes the connection, verifies
account name and password and makes the connection at 52k. Ok, that works
fine, but here's the problem. When I open ie I get "The page cannot be
displayed.†Doesn’t matter which website I try.
I think that if I can get that software to install my connection will work.
Although, it should already work with the dial-up connection I set-up myself.
Any ideas or suggestions?
WinXP Home
IE6
Thanks.
