My son can no longer connect to the internet. We have dial up (very small town in TX - nothing is availabel where we live) and we use MSN.
Normally when he puts in his password a message comes up that says "Dialing" and then Changes to "Sign In Attempt 1". It always connects on the first attempt.
The last few days it never tries to dial, just goes directly to "sign in attempt 1" and then attempts 2. Then it says it cannot connect.
It does not seem to be even trying to dial. Tested the modem it's good, tested the phone cord - it's good, tested the jack - it's good. Anybody had this problem? What can we do to fix it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Sorry about that - it actually showed the Internet/MSN category when I was putting it in. Not sure how I ended up in this forum.

MSN Messenger finally died here in the UK today! We have all had to upgrade to Windows Live messenger.
If everything else is working well for you,then I reckon the same thing is happening. Try downloading Windows Messnger Live and see if that works. He will still have all his contacts etc etc.

The question should be raised under computers & Internet and not under Health>Diseases & Conditions>Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD).
