Modem Disconnecting

[mewizard]

Hi people. This is driving me crazy so please help = )

Im on Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 2 on a Ambient HaM modem with BTinternet. When ever I disconnect due to my 2 hour period, I redial but it gets stuck on 'Veryfying username and password'

But when ever I CLICK disconnect the icon never disappears saying im offline and some programs like ICQ stay connected.

Please help as this is killing me since im a heavy internet user = )

hmmm. Does it do that every time or just occassionaly. The getting stuck on verifying username is probably BTs fault but not sure about why you cant use the disconenct button

 

[mewizard]

all the time, and it happens on all isp's

Are you using any personal firewall software like ZoneAlarm or BlackIce?

 

[mewizard]

zone alarm pro, but if i can connect once, a firewal would be the problem would it?

the modem worked on windows 95 and 98, so it maybe the 2000 drivers im using, i got them off the cd that came with it though

dont worry about the modem i wanna know whats happening with you and your missus, i wanna know where my advice has gotten you so come on, where's it at?

Had a vaquely similar problem myself. Disconnect your modem session. Open up ZoneAlarm and uncheck the box marked Load at Startup, or whatever it is. This will unload the TrueVector service. Now close ZoeAlarm and connect to the Internet again, with ZoneAlarm still unloaded.

Make any difference?
