Hi,
   we've recently bought a PC (Windows 2000) and I can't seem to make use
of my existing Demon account with it. I've been through the Internet
wizard thing a few times, I've spoked to Demon support, but I don't seem
to be getting anywhere. I wanted it to work with my existing 0844 number
and it seems to connect, and then I can faintly here high-pitched modem
whistles but after a bit the message "no answer" appears and it re-tries
with the same result. I've tried several numbers - all with the same
result.

Oh and I unticked the 3 boxes in the Properties/Network thing as Demon
told me to.

It almost sounds as if need a "wait" command after Demon answer, but I've
no idea how to do that and I'm probably completely wrong.

Can anyone offer any advice, please?  Cheers.


                  All the best,
                        Angus Manwaring.       (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
