I'm working with a friend's computer, got the modem working and set up my own (Earthlink) dial-up account to test it. I have dialed this access number using different computers and different modems without any problems. The modem dials out, I get the verifying user name and password box, and then for some reason with this computer (running Windows ME) I get the following error message:

Error 650: The computer you're dialing in to cannot establish a Dial-up Networking connection. Your server type setting might be incorrect. To fix this problem, contact your Internet Service Provider, or network administrator.

I have never had any problems with this dial-up account or seen this message using any other computer. Before I call Earthlink, is there some setting or adjustment I need to make on this computer?

Thanks,
Relztrah

I get this on occasion too... There are 2 things I would suggest.
1. Try adding 1 comma to the end of your dial up number. If that doesn't work, keep trying up to 2 more commas

2. Turn off the computer and wait a few hours. It could be the ISP.
