Is anyone else having a problem since middle of February in acessing ATT ISP?
Is there a solution to this sudden occurence?

Further data to your inquiry: By: ajimmo In:
microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web

I have been fooling around with ATT newsgroups about my inability to access
the ISP by dial-up for two months. Now they say it is a Windows problem. In
searching the event record I found the following warning. Does this impply a
memory problem keeping me from connecting to the ISP(possibly)?

Att support says it's a Windows problem. The phenomenon is consistently Att
Error 720.

1. Make sure your computer is completely virus/malware-free:

2. If the computer is clean, does the dialup error occur in a different
user account?

How do I try to access the ISP with a different user account?

Not the ISP - a different user account on XP. If you don't have one,
make one.

If this sounds too complicated - and there is no shame in admitting this
- have a local professional come on-site to fix things for you.

I have six user accounts but I have an ATT icon on the desktop which is my
route for access. What would be the route using one or several different
ones?
