my earthlink dsl won't connect, error 678
hi, i'm using the speedstream ethernet dsl modem that came free with my earthlink dsl account. it lights up indicating the dsl is active and it's connected fine with my nic card. i used the xp network connection wizard, checked all the properties. but everytime i try to connect, i get the error 678, the remote computer did not connect.
i read a link that i should maybe try limiting my 3com card to 10 base. i'll try that... does anyone else have a suggestion on what is going wrong? p.s. i've tried reconnecting the modem a hundred times, and i've tried redoing the network connection a hundred times as well as making certain i have all the proper cables going. the one thing i haven't tried is throwing my box out the window thanks for any assistance |

Have you installed the Earthlink software? The last time I installed Earthlink DSL I needed to install their software first and then spoof the MAC address of the NIC in the router. Even if you are not using a router you may need their software installed to establish a connection the first time.

their software did not detect my nic card. so would only offer
setting up for a dial-up connection. i will be going to their site to see if they have a version more compatable with xp |
