Comment:

My friends and i normally play Games over the phone line, by connecting to each others computer. (ie one recieves and another dials).
I have upgraded to XP corporate but my XP and my friends WIN98 or ME won't negotiate with the dial up... the msg is "Unable to establish a connection"
Help me to connect to each others computer.

Hmm,,... can you connect to any other computers or dial-up servers? I would suspect either the drivers, or one of the modem settings.
