Modem Problem - REALLY long time to logon

[GasX]

I am using a Creative Modem blaster on an Earthlink dial up account. Logging on takes forever and frequently fails. My connection is okay once it finishes connecting, but it can take up to 2 minutes to complete...

Any ideas why this might be happening and what I can do to fix it>?

I've had similar problems and i've solved them by doing the following. Go to dial-up networking, right click on your earthlink connection and select properties, select the server types tab, and then uncheck the Log on to network box, then with any luck your problem will be solved.

I hope that works.

Thanks a lot!

I second comp10 advice, difference of 20 to 30 sec if you enable "log on to network"
