I attempted to install a wireless card to my laptop. There was a problem with the wireless drivers. I uninstalled the wireless hard and software. I now can not access the dial up ISP. It will connect and then drop the connection. I uninstalled the ISP program and installed the new software to still have the same problem. Can any one assist me?

Go to control panel / modems,
select your modem, and click remove.

Re-boot, and allow windows to re-install your modem.

Next, check your TCP/IP settings in networking, and your DNS settings.

You will need the information as to what settings your ISP recommends to verify the settings.

Chas gives good advice. Why not give us a little more help and tell us what brand of card you installed and what, if any, error messages you get when your connection "drops." You're confusing me when you say, "I now can not access the dial up ISP." You then say, "It will connect and then drop the connection." Either you connect or you don't. Which is it?

Did you check device mgr. for ghost modems? Also might have to reinstall tcp/ip if isp carrier is Aol. Aol software overwrites tcp/ip/aol taking control of the protocol. what exact error are you receiving? You can use www.modemhelp.net to look up all error codes and init strings for dialup modems to assist you. Aol software is very bad and suspect thats your isp or if it's netzero you got a headache on your hands. What os? Not clear if wireless card works or not?
