When I want to dial into my ISP, after I had enter in my user ID and password, there is a message saying that"Verifying username and password. After that, it will disconnect by itself with an error code" 629". As such, I reinstall my modem driver tothe latest version and I'm able to log into internet successfully.But when I reboot my PC, the problem came back again. I believe there is corrupted DLL file which causing all this problem. I hope to solve the problem without reinstall win98. Any one can help mi?

There are a number of reasons that may cause this problem

Check with your ISP,to help with troubleshooting

Check the ID and user name which are case sensitive

Open the Control Panel,double-click on Add/Remove Programs,select the Windows Setup tab
Select Communications,then remove the check from Dial-Up networking and choose to remove,reboot computer,then go back to Communications and place the check mark as to add this should act as a fresh install

Error 629

1. Does it ask for the UN/PASS more than once? if so, verify UN/PASS.

2. Check the dialer settings, if ipx/spx is checked and not tcp/ip this would be the cause. In any case the only two things that should be checked are Enable Software Compression and TCP/IP. Also enable DNS. Logon to Network being checked can very well be the culprit.

3. Make sure that the Microsoft VPN Adapter is not selected under connect using.

4. Recreate the dialer.

5. Windows NT? In the Security Tab in Phonebook, make sure that "accept any authentication including clear text" is checked.

6. Check the Network Control Panel settings.

7. Reboot the machine.

8. Modem issue? Use this page for driver updates/init strings..
9. Try disconnecting any phones, caller ID boxes, answering machines, line splitters from line. Plug modem directly into the line. Try using a different phone cord between modem and phone socket. Check for line noise.

The 2nd Answer is well - all this problems I found also. But one is missing - noise on the phone line. If there is a crosstalking - happenend her sometimes, you get the same error message.
Also our ISP is sometimes playing for my feeling he has a limited dialin lines and have different levels of user. If a higher rated user dials in and you have a lower level, you get a dropped line and at the next dialin you get the same error message.
So there are realy many different causes possible.
