ok guys, i tried to make a dialup thing so I can see if my modem is beat, I made one but I cant cconnect to it, but... the brickwall was just gone in front of the globe and i had 5 green bars, but it was downloading at dialup speed (i still have my cable modem hooked up because I couldnt connect to the internet because i didnt set my ddialup right) down by the clock, it said AOL-Not connected even though I was signed in, and when I was it seemed to fix the problem, but I loged out and in and now its not working agaain lol

ok now i got 5 green bars, no brick wall and im downloading a song, but only at 5kbps I still have cable internet open, all I did was make a dial up conenction, now when i scroll over the aol internet thing it says AOL-Connection Available, im not sure what to do, because downloading at 5kbps is rough, but better then nothing Oh yea, and is there a way to cancel a aol name thing, because I made 2 for some reason

does anyone why it did this? im paying for cable internet (ands it on) but when i made this aol dial up thing, its like now its always on dialup (internet, limewire, everything is dialup speed)

Try this (don't kill me if it doesn't work):

Start > connect to > your ISP > properties > advanced > now untick the box to 'establish a dial up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the internet' > ok.

See if that fixes it. Otherwise, someone else will have to step in

ok im back lol, of course nothing works for me for some reason, but anyways i just did a search of "firewall" on my computer and i found a lot of resutls and it wouldnt let me delete a few, it said somethiing about not being able to read the disk or something?

Awwww man...I was hoping you'd fixed it
Do you get any program names when you search for firewalls? Can you take a screenshot of your search results (might give a clue to someone)?
Did you get the dial up off?
Did you ever find out if Atlantic has a backup dial up service & if so, did you try that?

umm i think i got rid of the dial up, i dont know how to take screen shots and im having my dad call atlantic broadband tommorow so , looks like i just struck out lol ill take a screen shot if u want, but you have to tell me how

o ya the one firewall on the list was related to the adobe thing, i didnt know what that was but i removed it all from my computer, under type it said something like "block file sharing"

Forget about the screenshot for now, wait & see what Atlantic say.
You've done a great job with all this & have been really patient, I hope that there's a way to get LW working for you
