win 2k and dial up, strange error

[Byte 2.0]

I don't have the extact error but when trying to create a dun connection in win 2k on moms computer last sunday, it won't accept any name for the ISP, gives a message that is must contain at least 1 character that is not a space or a period symbol. I am going up to her place tomorrow to see if I can fix it, any idea?

The Feild was not greyed out or anything, it was just the connection field and I would type in various names, tried numbers, all lower case, all upper case. could not get it to accept anything for an ISP name. I had never run across that before and i didn't have my bag of software tricks with me.

Anyways, tomorrow I am going back to her home to see if I can fix it, I have thought about it off and on all week and Have been unable to come up with a reason why it would do such a thing.

It is a new 2k install and the modem has the most updated 2k drivers.

Any ideas?

you can try pressing the left arrow key on your key board just to make shor the curser is at the begining of the line allso press and hold the deleat key for 10 seconds just to make shor
the box is empty then enter the leter d only and see if that works you can all ways rename it later
