Unable to connect, Dial-up networking = 0.0 MB
I am unable to connect to AOL from my computer.
AOL tech support helped me diagnose the problem but couldn't help fix it. When I go under Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs - Windows Setup tab - Communications - Dial-up Networking the space required for this is 0.0 MB. It should be more than this for the internet connection to work and I dont know how to fix this. Anyone knows how this can be fixed? Thanks for help. Daisy |

Daisy,
What exact problems are you having? That Dial-Up Networking shows as needing 0.0 MB is quite correct as installing DUN adds no files but instead just makes some configuration changes in the registry. So forget about the 0.0 MB and go ahead and install and then post back and give details of any problems you are having. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Daisy wrote: I am unable to connect to AOL from my computer.

Mike,
Thanks for prompt response. When I sign on to AOL using Home networking (I have the AOL broadband and Linksys router), it says trying to connect using TCP/IP and then displays this message. Attempt 1) [Home Network 1] The connection to the AOL Service timed out. (02-04015) I called up AOL tech support and they said because I have 0.0 MB under the dial-up networking, it doesn't let me connect. What am I missing? Thanks again for your help.

Daisy I'm sorry but I can't help with AOL problems never having used their
"service" but maybe someone who uses AOL will see your message and be able to help you. It does appear though that the AOL support person you spoke to is living up to the reputation of those at AOL being clueless when it comes to the operation of a computer. I do feel that you need to seek help from AOL but this time try to speak to someone who has some idea of what they are talking about.

Attempt 1) [Home Network 1] The connection to the AOL Service timed out. (02-04015) I am guessing DSL? It the Linksys a combo DSL Modem/Router, or do you have a separate modem? Has the connection ever worked before? I called up AOL tech support and they said because I have 0.0 MB under the dial-up networking, it doesn't let me connect. Dial-up networking shouldn't be involved in a broadband TCP/IP connection; but who knows what sort of nonsense AOL is implementing now. You might check he http://www.dslreports.com/forum/aolplus What am I missing? That AOL support has not a clue about what they are telling you. You are paying for that non-service. Thanks again for your help. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

Thanks Norman & Mike.
It is DSL connection. Modem and router (Linksys BEFSR41) are separate. Yes, the connection has worked before with this machine (Win ME). Two other computers (Win 98) are connected to router and AOL works fine on them. I will check on the other forum. Thanks. Daisy -----Original Message----- In article , Daisy says...

Not that I know if it applies in this case but here in the UK where for ADSL we tend to use PPPOA rather than PPPOE most access via a USB modems requires the use of DUN. And you guys don't drive on the right side of the road, either! And the poor Japanese; adopted the worst mannerisms of the two most influential civilizations in history; writing from China, and driving from Britain! -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

One other point, having read Daisy's response. If there is a router between the computer and the Internet, as she is describing, a DUN on the computer really should be out of the picture; the router, not the computer, handles the connection. So it is with PPPoE; I can't imagine how that would differ for PPPoA. After I installed my router, I removed Enternet 300 from the computer. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

Two other computers (Win 98) are connected to router and AOL works fine on them. How is the router configured for the connection? The firmware in my Linksys BEFSR11 gives me the following choices: Obtain an IP automatically Static IP PPPoE PPTP When I was connecting it to the Internet, I had to use "PPPoE". I am currently running some local tests, and use "Obtain IP automatically"; it pulls an IP address from my Netgear gateway device. I will check on the other forum. Look at the Linksys forum at that site I gave you as well. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |
