these answer might seem dumb but make sure ur laptop has a dial up modem. most new laptops doesn't have dial up modems. and make sure ur phone line is hooked up. If u still can't get it to work, try this support site, http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?NewsGro up=microsoft.public.win98.apps&SLCID=US&ICP=GSS3&sd=GN&id=fh ;en-us;newsgroups just my two cents.. much luv, JiZz

Sorry if I am being too simplistic but have you actually got a dial up account with the provider? Have you ever established a dial up connection before, from home or anywhere else? Where are you dialling from. If it is a hotel, do you have to put in a prefix before dialling the number?
