Ok this has got to be the strangest thing ive come across in all my years of dealing with a computers.
When connecting to a dail up connection I got the error 691, invald username/password. after typing and retyping the password and checking the username. I tried it on another computer and it worked fine. so I setup a new username(just put a 1 at the end) on my account but kept the same password. I agian was able to logon the other computer but not mine. So I logged on with another email address on my account that I rarely use. It works on both computers. So I change the password on my main account and on the sub account that I had just setup, now they all work.
long story short I was unable to logon because the computer dident like the password.with the password being typed in the computer dailed out but it was almost like it checked the password itself instead of with the ISP server.
Anyone have an explation or another funky problem thats stumpped them or cam close post it.
BTW it was on a win 2k system and the password was never saved. Everytime I connected on the first computer with that password there wasnt any connection logs on the isp side.
