![]() Acer Aspire 1300 Back in June I posted a message about a DUN problem, message ID below. I had, numerous useful replies though none of which solved the problem. Very briefly my home adsl broadband works fine but DUN fails to connect after making all the normal sqwaking noises. I have now formatted and reloaded XP onto my laptop, DUN still does NOT connect, it gets to verifying username and password then drops the line. My DUN account works fine from another computer so it is not the settings. I have tried to use a mobile phone - this to eliminate the modem as a problem but still no luck, the phone settings work fine with another computer. Now I am wondering what on earth it can be, is there a possibilty of a motherboard problem, it is a Connexant Winmodem. Geoff Lane |

Is your line ex-directory? If it is, go in to the properties of the connection. Network connections right click on the dialup connection and scroll down to properties and in the general tab disable use dialling rules and then add the telephone number in the telephone number dialogue box but prefix the number with 1470, (include the comma) so it looks like 1470,0845xxxxxx etc. HTH, Dave |

I've checked all settings against a known good connection and nothing is amiss. Just to highlight, DUN was working fine early in the year, I used it occasionally to keep some ISPs active since getting ADSL and now for some reason it is not working. No obvious computer crash, but even so I've done a fresh reload of XP. Geoff Lane |

A friend seemed to be getting a similar problem, and replacing the modem sorted it out. -- Email addy is a spam trap - Spam will go to a spammer Please post in the group to reply. |

Try unplugging the filter and ADSL modem and plug your 56k modem direct into the master phone socket. If this cures it, then you can buy a replacement master socket ADSL faceplate which contains a better quality filter and looks neater. Also, due to the filter, any 56k modem will only work at a slower speeds (about 30-40K), so make sure the modem is not restricted to only connecting at V90 speed. Dave |

I've just tried to connect via bluetooth and a SonyEriccson Z600. Again failed after saying verifying username and password. Gave me error 720 suggesting I check TCP/IP and protocols. As mentioned, my settings are correct as they work on other computers. Geoff Lane |

![]() Gave me error 720 suggesting I check TCP/IP and protocols. As mentioned, my settings are correct as they work on other computers. I'd suggest checking your settings again. Error 720 indicates no PPP protocolos are configured. I think it is more deep routed that a settings problem, perhaps a registry problem but I am exploring that option. My original post suggested a clean loaded XP was not working but I have found this to be a phone line problem. As it stands now my clean load connects fine whereas my original is appearing to work perfectly, internet via network, all programs working ok, quick and everyting but not DUN. I have checked settings so many times I am going dizzy. There is an underlying problem but at the moment I am not sure where to go with it. Thanks for input though. Geoff Lane |
