It is not about ur user name being right or wrong. It is an issue with the modem driveras u have installed. I know the next thing u r going to tell me is that it is the driver that you have installed from the cd you got. forget that. If you can get online through dial-up, use the keyword:Broadband Help, or Broadband Drivers and download the drivers of the modem you have. Delete your current drivers and install the one you have downloaded. In case you can't get online, call on 08003765432 and order a free cd.
The issue is that the username and password you have is not being identified by the domain you are using. in case this does not work, call the broadband tech support, they will help you out.

However, it failed to accept my ID.

The trick to navigating this is to type EVERYTHING in lowercase, even if your password has capitals. Type it all in lowercase and it will work; I did not have to do the green arrows/connect thing (which was good, because it had an error when I tried to use 'connect').

I'd like to thank you alot for this help, I shall be free of dodgy AOL, my msn will go back to normal transfer speed, seperated from AOL's automatic ADSL firewall (although I have my own, obviously. I'm not going to expose myself). It's all good!

Now I just need to know if this will effect any pricing. Presumably, the always-on status of the connection means it won't, but I'd like to know for sure.

Hi

I have tried all the methods here and am having no luck. I tried your method, which as you say looks the easiest, but when I remove the telephone number from the modem properties (0,38 for me aswell) a dialogue box headed up Dial-Up Networking appears with the message "A telephone number is required. Please typle the telephone number you want to dial"

This is on the BT Voyager connection (like the one when you click the arrows and then connect).

Try clicking properties and going to the options tab. Then de-check "prompt for phone number"

Or

Try my above method.

Right I managed to remove my OLD connection and make a new.

Sorry again this is for the Voyager but it *may* work for others.

In Network conections create a NEW connection

Choose connect to internet

Choose manually

Choose DIAL UP - yes i know... weird ^ ^

Then it asks you for your ISP name
Here you can enter whatever you want, but if you wish to be able to click the arrows to get it to work then YOU MUST call it: BT Voyager ADSL Modem

Then it will ask you for a phone number ENTER NOTHING
just choose next.

Now you will be prompted for your username//password, your username is your screenname with @aol.com. So basically it is your e-mail address. I believe it is CASE SENSITIVE.

example coolnogayol@aol.com

Same deal with your password, it's the one you use to sign in with aol every day. This could also be case sensitive.

I wouldn't choose to make it your default connection yet. If this doesn't work you could do with aol...

Now the connection is made but NOT set up.

It should load up the connect screen, but you're not ready yet.

Click properties.

Under connect using your dsl modem should be their. But it might say IDSN channel before the name that is OK.

Click configure next to connect using.

It should be using 64k digital line and negotiate line type should be clicked.

Now close that pop-up and move onto options (the second tab)

De-check prompt for phone number
And make the idle time after hanging up set to never (so you don't get kicked off for doing nothing.

X.25 button should have none for network and no other details filled in.

Go to networking tab (4th)

Server type should be PPP windows 95/98/Nt 4/2000
click settings next to this

De-check all but enable LCP extensions (first box)

Right now I would re-start.

Click OK and CONNECT :D

You an also set up internet sharing, but I am not going into that as thats another long post.

And again can SOMEONE STICKY THIS!!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9272548 Tue, 03 Feb 2004 05:51:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9194764 anon : I've just found why it's not working :-)

On any windows just double click the arrows in the taskbar.

Then choose connect.

Click properties.

Delete the phone number (usually 0,38)

screenname@aol.com=user
your aol pasword=password

You are now ready to roll.

Then happily connect and delete all crappy aol uk software. I then suggest to get Tuneup abilites and clean up the mess AOL leaves in your regestry...

Could this please become a sticky topic? It would be very useful for AOL UK members. After all you have the method for the US service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8574191 Sat, 22 Nov 2003 10:01:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8472490 anon : I have connected with my 1MB connection but instead of getting around 110kb i get 10-20kb any help?

I'm using the free trial for AOL Broadband, which was installed by my local Road Runner service. Love the Road Runner, don't like AOL. Is there anyway I can bypass the AOL portion of the process, and connect directly to Road Runner, ie, just open my IE browser and be online, sans AOL?

Thank you for any help. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8471404 Tue, 11 Nov 2003 00:22:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8467209 anon : Works with UK alcatel 1.6 software too if anyones wondering. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8467209 Mon, 10 Nov 2003 16:01:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8467035 anon : Ok can someone help i can't find any of that stuff you said can someone email me?

I see this works for you.

So in short: Delete the number on the modem's properties then connect just using the modem with one of your screen name accounts (screenname@aol.com) and password.

I hope this works for everyone.

All UK and England users, please come and confirm for everyone!

after reading all this ppoe Cack that doesn't work in the UK, i decided to share my discovery, this might not work for every one but it does for me and involves no downloadable programs :). Ok, i have a BT Voyager DSL modem, using AOL 8.0 (i seem to be the only one not having problems with this version). Ok to connect the way i did go to Control pannel and then Network Connections, i had three connections, under dial up, they were, BT VOYAGER ADSL MODEM, AOL WITH DSL and AOL DIAL ON DEMAND, aol dial on demand will probably br the default one, ok open up AOL WITH DSL's propities, get the phone number, in my case it was 555-1234 copy the phone number, close that
go to the modem one, right click, then propities, delete the phone number that is in there, in my case it was 0,38 type in the number you got from the AOL with DSL then click ok, there all done basicly. Double click the modem one now, or right click then connect, thype in your username with the @aol.com and your password then connect, 2 computers should comeup on the task bar, with the connection speed, i got my fastest ever! the speed my modem is actually spose to go not 300kbps 512kbps!!!! There shouldn't be any charges for this since its connecting through your DSL modem. Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8276526 Mon, 20 Oct 2003 08:02:39 EDT
