Dial up Issues

Problems connecting to MSN. Using a Compaq presario. I'm able to connect to my access number and username/password are correct, but it gives the error of "Problem with .NET Passport, unable to connect to MSN"
I can see the connection status at the lower right corner of the taskbar, and it shows "Connected at 56000 BPS" . Bytes sent and bytes recieved move when i try to access IE, Netscape, or the MSN Browser itself, but show me that "page is not displayed". None of the browsers work, yet im connected? Any help of suggestions on this 1? Thanks

Gene, dunno just what the solution is, By way of a little explanation...sounds like you are connecting to MSN ok, but they aren't accepting your password for some reason or other. Double check that and be aware that CASE MATTERS. On their end, a computer compares the two and it is rejected unless it is an EXACT match. Ed in Texas.

I see.. so even if the connection is accepted, the password may be case sensitive? I suppose I can try that, .. otherwise I'll try calling them up for the 50000th time just for them to tell me its something on my end. Thx Ed, ill try that for the moment
