Gooday. I have xp and can't hook up to dialup. My firewall seems to be blocking it and I can't alter anything in the firewall, any suggestions.

Under Classic View and tell the system that this is a Internet Connection. You could even make it your Default Connection for the Internet and that should cure your problem unless you are using some different Firewall other than the one supplied with XP.

Gooday. After I open phone and modem I can't find how to do it. Can you run me through it please.

Gooday. I have done all those things and its still the same, when I click dial it says, verifying user name, error 6, the handle is invalid. When I click on the other connection it says all devices connected error 50 the request is not supported. Also no change in win firewall, can't turn on or alter.
Regards, Warren.

Gooday I have done that, no change. The firewall is off. I can't turn it on or alter it. In advanced it says firewall on for dialup only.

you have a firewall and can't turn it off?
what firewall is this? If this is XP firewall it's just 'General' - 'Turn off Firewall'
Have you tried deleting all connections and re-installing?
cheers
