dial up problems

[acal3000]

I'm having a lot of problems to connect the internet since two weeks ago. I dont know what could be the problem. I called the technical support of my ISP but said the server was right. I tried somethings like change line cables but the problems still remains I listen that there is some virus that make problems to connect and scanned with nav 2004 and pccillin and didn't found nothing also checked for spyware/adware and din't found nothing too, I thought the problem could be the firewalls and disabled the windows firewall and uninstalled zone alarm but don't makes diffrerence. I have a dial up connection that uses a program provided by the isp to compress the connection data and makes more faster the navigation uninstalled that program too and still having problems. Is there something I could? do or do I have to change my ISP?

Try setup the internet connection by using the Winodws guide...
Control panel - Internet Options - Coneections - Setup :D

Worth a try.. Do you hear teh modem dial up?

The modem dial but when the sound of call entering is listen suddenly stops for a seconds and come with arror saying about "the remote system is not responding" or something like that sometimes the internet enter but most of the time I have to dial several times in order to gain access. also i checked the options you said but ehat of those options do you think shoud I check/modify?

I had to dial up a few times before it worked too.. well just run through the guide and select modem and so on...

I finally fixed the problem I reformated the machine and the internet is working again I don't know what created the problem. I think the tcp/ip servce from windows got damaged or somethiing. it can't tbe reinstalled on win xp (not like win 98). only reset the settings that didn't worked. Some of the programs are working better. Farcry runs now very smooth and faster

yes the same thing happened to me, the tcp/ip service got messed. at the time i also could not network (lan)

there would be not problem with TCP/IP. It might have caused if u have Norton Internet Security or any some firewalls. U must not not remove the norton internet security from the startup and it must be running in the background.
