Internet Woes - Part 1

Published by pattye at 5:28 pm under Living Edit This

Last night I purchased a wirless Internet card for my computer.  I cannot get it to work.  I have been trying for 12 hours.  I don’t give up easily. Laughing   I have Windows XP.  The error is Error 718: Timeout Waiting for Valid Response from PPP Server.  I have made sure that my personal firewall is okay with it.  I have un-installed the software - reinstalled it.  Un-installed the drivers - reinstalled the drivers.  I read on a forum that Windows Service Pack 3 is a problem for some.  I uninstalled that.  Don’t do that.  I thought I killed my computer. The computer booted up fine, but then wouldn’t do a thing.  I restarted it severals times and finally, I was able to restore the computer to a previous time.

Any suggestions?  Technicians are not available until tomorrow.  I hope they are able to give me an easy solution.  I’m hoping it’s just something wrong in the set up.
