A hint for all you windows users out there who can’t connect to the internet… don’t forget that the number they ask you to dial in the dialer box is not your own phone number of your house, but instead is the service providers telephone number. I just spent 20 minutes on the phone trying to tech-support my sister through the dialup effort. She was repeatedly getting number in use errors. It turns out that she put her own number in the dnumber to connect button. At least she wasn’t using call waiting, otherwise it would have kept disconnecting here every time she rang.
The fix is as always to use the real phone number of your ISP. I spent 10 minutes trying to get her to the eircom.net phone number, but accidentally gave her a pay-use number. The eircom number is 1892150150. It takes any username ans password, which makes it really easy to use.
Well she’s sorted and I’m off home now.
If it wasn't for carbon-14, I wouldn't date at all
