Internet Woes - Part 1
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.
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.
