Solve : error 44 dran?

Answer»

Hello: I just installed DSL from talk America to replace dial-up that we
had for years from AOL. The DSL works fine,except when I try to
configure the "aol" "my wife likes it" I SELECT DSL connection and follow
to the letter the quide steps supplied by aol. I keep getting a dial-up
server, of which I disabled in system config.To make a long story short
I spent 2 hours on the phone with aol teck support and the final answere was
uninstall and reinstall,I told her I could have done that two hours ago. As luck
would have it,I uninstalled, reinstalled aol and I keep getting the same error.
I even disable my firewall,and tried it that way,still the same,if anybody has
any ideas,I would like to hear them,I've tried every thing that I know.

Thanks ahead
Don

HP a1314n comp. amd dual-core, 2 gbit ram, 250gbit hd,talk america dsl, if
I left anything out please advise me. also winxp proI'm not familiar with US providers but are you saying that Internet Explorer always attempts to use the old AOL dialup setting rather than the new Talk America installation?
If so, open the Control Panel>Internet Options applet and click on the "Connections" tab. Select the Talk America connection and set it as default. If you no longer require the AOL connectoid, you can delete it.

The above presupposes that AMODEM is used for the Talk America connection. If it uses a router, set it to "Never Dial A Connection".qz:

Both ADSL and dial-up connect to the Internet through the RJ-45 (phone) jack. The only way you will be able to use both is if you have the local telephone company install ANOTHER line to your home so you will have two phone jacks--one for the ADSL modem and one for the dial-up modem.

You may have both the Talk America ADSL and the AOL dial-up connections in My Network Places.

Hi - Been a while since I used AOL (thankfully) but, if I recall there a selection right when the app first COMES up for SELECTING the connection. Simply delete the dial up connection and add a new connection and, when given the choice, select the new DSL connection. Or am I over simplfying?
Second item - pcdoc4christ mentioned a RJ45 phone connection. RJ45 refers to the size of the plug and the number of wires contained therein. RJ45 is the plug type used from most DSL modems to connect to your PCs NIC card and contains 8 wires (also other phone uses - but no need to go there for this discussion). A standard phone line, which only has two wires uses a RJ11 plug and will carry one phone line. A RJ14 plug is identical in shape and size to RJ11, but contains 4 wires for two line operation. That being said, it should not be a problem to bring both DSL AND the telephone line to your PC off of ONE phone line. All that is needed is the correct placement of the DSL filters. The DSL connection from phone line to modem gets connected directly onto the line coming into the building before any filter. The telephones (or dial up modem) must be after the filter(s). All phones and dial up modems can be hooked up with one filter, it just depends on how tricky you can be in getting the wiring around your place, see diagram below.
/meIncidentally, you CAN use the ADSL and a dial up connection simultaneously. You just won't get to talk on the phone while doing so.Quote

Yep, stupid mistake on my part. Thanks for the correction, phoneguy.
