YEs, even with tech support from Earthlink Dial up assistance. They suggested a corrupted Client Sharing file.

I tried it without success. Will continue to read the posted
articles.


Another diagnostic I thought of: enable logging. In the Phone and Modem
applet in Control Panel, under the Modems tab panel, select your modem
and click Properties. Under the Diagnostics tab panel, enable "Append
to log". You can click the View Log button to see if there is any old
stuff in an existing logfile (just erase it all and close/save the
logfile). Then attempt the connection which results in an error. Maybe
something will pop up in the logfile to tell you what is going wrong.

When I click on my INternet explorer to connect to web through the default connnection, there is a bad password saved in that window. I can delete the bad connection only to have it reappear on the next boot up. How can I rid my system of that bad passw

ord/connection error?

How do you know that it's a bad password? Windows XP always displays
the same number of characters for a dial-up password, regardless of
the password's actual length. Try connecting and see if it works.

if all else fails, you could try deleting that connection
and creating it again from scratch.

Already tried that and it didn't work. In fact, in raises from the dead and delete and reinstalls itself upon a reboot.
