Unable to connect to BT Yahoo Broadband

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Unable to connect to BT Yahoo Broadband

Hi,

Last year, over the summer holidays, I was able to use BT Yahoo broadband at home. I moved into student halls where I was able to connect to the net too, but now I've moved back home, I can't get connected again.

It fails on the verification of my user name and password, giving "Error 645 - Internal authentication error". The same username & password works on a different computer going through the same modem & telephone line. Phoning up support told us that my computer had a corrupt password file, but didn't really say how to fix it. Anyone know how I can fix this, or where I can download and copy over a working password file?

Thanks,

Ryan

Which Operating System are you using?

Windows 98 (not the 2nd edition). Support told us that Broadband wouldn't work on this, but it has before!

Could be this?
or this?
Seems Win98 is susceptible to it.
I sometimes have 'odd' problems caused by adware.

The first link you gave worked a charm, many thanks :)
