Well, I am at my cousins for the next couple of weeks/months (Moving in :|) Anyway my cousin has dial up! But when I connect the phone line into my computer it will not connect! I enter the ISP Pass and user name and I just type any ISP name like ( Connection 1 ) But when I Press DIal it just tryes to dial and it says something is wrong with the modem? error 365 I think... But it works just fine on my cousins Fancy windows ME that cost 300$ and is as old as my GRANDMA! ( Sarcasm ) I dont see the problem. I contacted the computer store and they say all you do is set up a connection with the name and password for the ISP. I dont really under stand! I plug it in I say connect to the internet then I click Dial Up enter ther ISP Name ( connection 1 ) then I click next go to user name and pass and type it in conferm the pass and I press next I have a choice of adding the connection to destop blah blah blah and I click it press connect and wait and wait and wait! Then is says there is something wrong with the MODEM! Im not even shure we have a MODEM FOR DIAL UP! The internet line goes up to the addict to this white little straight plug in. It is too little to be a modem! But anyway... It works just fine on my cousins but not on mine? Any Ideas? I hate this I really want to go on steam and talk to my friends lol. But steam does not support my cousins system ( It's too old! ) So waht should I do? The name of the ISP PLace like how it's setup is called. " No Charge Free Internet " Just like that even with the 3 spaces in the middle! Please Someone help :p I need to talk to my friends :P Any Suggestions.

P.S: It is free dial up internet. Pretty fast :p
 
I'm thinking that you need to install the software from the free ISP at least that's what the website says. But from what your saying it won't be of any use to you on steam. You need to pony up for some broadband internet.
 
Yeah all free ISPs require their own software to login so you need it. It'll dial it up for you. IT's so they can display banners and other ads to you while you browse..

IF i were ya I would just steal someone's wireless connection nearby. ;)
