Hi,
Hope this is corrcet area to post this question.
My wife's newish Toshiba lappy running Vista Home works connects wirelessly fine to our home PN Broadband network.
When she's working away I set up a Dial Up connection to PN so she could do the basics whilst away from home.
Problem is, the connection is successfull according to the dialogue boxes in yet she is unable to check email or browse with IE which is NOT set to offline. Perhaps settings / config needs attention somewhere?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Are you using the same login details as your broadband connection?
If so you may be served the same IP address, which will cause problems. You can create a free pay-as-you-go dial-up account, to avoid this from happening.

Thanks. Took a look at this but it asks for a "connect from" tel number.
The whole point of this connection would be to connect Dial Up from anywhere.
How best to proceed?

If you just want a basic dialup that uses 0845 call rates then try this site:
http://www.free-dialup.net/
It doesn't require you to sign up or anything just use the phone number and username and password on the front page to connect!

Enter your own telephone number, it is the one Plusnet would use to contact you. Once set up you can dial in from anywhere since it is PAYG.
A new username needs to be chosen for the account, and it will have its own email address. However picking up email from your broadband email account is possible using the appropriate username(+mailboxname if appropriate) and password. Doing the reverse from your broadband account is also possible.
Sending email using the broadband email account name is also possible (and vice-versa).

For the small issue of signing up, using PlusNet's service should mean that you do not have issues such as SMTP not working, when swapping between services.
