I am using AOL with a dial up connection. I keep getting an error saying "Can't establish a connection to network" when attempting to sign on. It was working perfectly fine until this afternoon. I ran my Norton Utilities 2004, and this did not remedy the problem. I also tried installing "Earthlink" as an alternative, and that also gives me the same type of error!!!!

Any ideas what the heck is going on here? Help appreciated.



I am using my work computer now, but can't get online at home for nuthin'!! :irate:

Dial up....do you hear the modem making noises?
Can you click on start==>run==>dialer which brings up the phone dialer, place a voice call to your cell phone or something...just to see if the modem can pick up a dial tone and dial away?
Run a modem test in your modems properties on control panel?

Trying to see if the modem is functional, then on to troubleshooting your TCP stack and winsock.
