DUN Problem?

I decided to try an ISP again & now I'm having trouble getting the
connection completed. I'll get to the veryifying password stage & then it
throws me off & says it couldn't negotiate a set of compatible protocols.

I've reviewed the settings with the ISP; Deleted & reinstalled Dial-up
Networking, adapters & TCP settings without any luck. I also removed &
reinstalled the modem.

Any ideas? (The modem group feels it's not a modem problem. I tried to
reinstall DUN from win95 Cd but couldn't)

Thanks.

It sounds like you have not got a script running or that you are not using
the "bring up a terminal window after dialing".

You will now get a terminal window after dialing in which you type in your
username and password at the prompts and then chose or type in PPP and type
the F7 key to finish.

Another possible problem is that in Control Panel | Network | you have
IPX/SPX as a protocol and your ISP does not use that.(most don't). If that
is the case remove it and in the connectiod uncheck the protocols that you
are not using.

Try connecting with an ordinary communications program where you have
more control over what's happening and see if you can get it to the
point where the SLIP or PPP connection initiates (if it's PPP you'll
see a slew of curly brackets; I'm not sure what SLIP would look like,
but figure if the remote machine starts spewing gibberish at you at
the appropriate point, that's it). This should at least give you a
good idea of where the problem lies; with the modem, the
communications setup, or with the PPP/SLIP setup. (Given the error
message you mention, it sounds like it's probably the last, but it's a
good idea to check and make sure.)

If you haven't worked this out yet, you might try this drastic step:
( the one guy is right - you have the wrong protocols installed) go to
Control Panel; open Network; remove EVERYTHING; shut down your computer.
Start back up; if you still have the Internet Wizard on your taskbar,
run it and reconfigure your ISP setup.
