    K, I came back from my vacation, and tried if my internet still works in school, I get this error:
    [​IMG]
    The wierd thing is that it does this error after it dials, and checks the user/pass and on "registering the computer to the network", it stops any ideas how to fix this? I am using T-mobile in Florida, and any help would be appriciated!

    I don't know. I also have this problem, my phone just stops (doesn't begain to dial) wen the computer tries to dial out. However, if I dial the number manually, nothing changes.

    It looks like T-Mobile may have changed the PPP protocol for connecting. Are you supposed to use it like that? Many wireless providers lately have been pissy about letting people use computers to connect to the internet with their phones.

    2 Crispy1805: you probably have "wait for dial tone" checked somewhere in connection properties.

    Thanks for the link, I already tried that thou, it says in the "more info" tab dircetrly in the dial up window.

    Also I dont know exactly how to make a connection. I made one with "nokia pc suite" and the other with widcomm bluetooth drivers, none worked, the nokia one dint work at all. And the other gave me this error, last school year I was using the nokia, but then I had to install the widcomm drivers to make my bluetooth headseat work. Sorry that this post is so confuzing, to restate, I changed drivers, thats probably why it stopped working, but it worked with those drivers in the "Czech Republic" in Europe with a Czech sim card.
    Thanks in advance

    My point was that it may not even be possible to make it work because of changes in the T-Mobile network. If you're doing the same thing as before, then you more than likely haven't changed anything, which points at your service provider. You should check with them. "How to make it work" may be a moot point if they've disabled that capability somehow.

    Nice attitude by the way. Perhaps you should engage your brain before you start ripping on people, hmm? It only makes you look like an idiot as well as an ass.

    I am not "ripping on people", at least I didnt want to, I am a really nice person. But (not ripping) I am using it differently, I am using different software to make the dial up connection for me. Read my last post

    I got it working with a usb cable, so at least I know its not t-mobile blocking it, and I will keep trying to get it working.
