This is a bit unusual.
If you have broadband connection why not use it instead of dial up. You should have a broadband modem connected to a router and all pcs conected to the router. Now everyone uses the broadband simultaneously and not fool with dial up. You open Windows Explorer, Click Tools at the top, click Internet Options on the drop down, and select the Connections tab and select the "never dial a connection" option. I suspect you now, on the desktop, have it set at "dial whenever a network connection is not present" and because a network connection is present it does not dial and you turn off the network connection solely to dial.
I would consider retiring the dial up - waste of money to have both.

First of all, you're NOT a failure as a mother - you're trying your best, and that alone makes you a better mother than a huge segment of the population. Second of all, the not eating has got to stop ASAP, since it's going to be life-threatening. Since summer is coming up soon, if she's still not eating, a residential eating-disorder treatment program might be a decent option. Don't give in to the phone issue, though - if she doesn't eat for long enough, just load her in the car (she won't have the energy to resist) and make it clear if she won't get her nutrition by eating like most normal people, she'll get it through an IV in her arm. As far as school, if her grades are bad enough, enroll her in summer school, maybe get her a tutor (preferably on Friday afternoons or weekends) or supervise her studying yourself. Tell her that if she refuses to learn while she's in school, she's going to have to do that learning during her non-school free time. Also, talk to her teachers and the administrators at her school - is it possible they could mail the progress reports directly to your house, or even make a backup copy so you can About the clothes and shoes: If she looks like she crawled out of a trash dumpster... well, honestly, at this point her looking stupid is the least of your problems, and won't cause any lasting harm. Simply don't buy her new ones, and if she literally gives all of them away and has almost nothing left, go to Salvation Army or some secondhand place like that and either make her pay if she's got money or make her do chores to 'earn' the 'new' clothes. Here the aim is just to make sure she has clothing so you're not legally neglecting her, you have no obligation to make sure it's clothing she likes. And, you've said you're 'nice in regards to her friends'. Well, unfortunately, it sounds like you have to stop being so nice. Basically, grounding her and only allowing her to see friends at your house under supervision, and then only as a reward for goof behaviour, should be effective. I know she's seeing a counselor, but perhaps you could talk to that counselor since she's a minor? Or maybe some 'family counseling' that involves the two of you would be a better alternative?

I have 1 opinion, and 1 question.
If your daughter has dsl internet then it could be using frequencies that conflict with your phone signal (which would cause problems with your dial up.
The question is, if your daughter has broadband, why aren't all the computers in the house hooked up to it? Every computer should use the broadband for internet. It's faster, quieter and doesn't tie up your phone line.
So????

Are your daughter using DSL Conention? If so, then the issue gotta happens. Two conention is working at the same time vie phone line or land line, making the connection to fail. Why don't you just use the same broadband conenction? It's faster than Dial Up.
Good Luck,

It works here... so it's got to be something to do with your setup.
Are you missing some microfilters? You need one for each phone and one for the broadband router and one for your modem's connection.

I agree with Mr. Unknowable on this one.
