Modem Issues

Dial-Up Networking could not negotiate a compatible set of network protocols you specified in the Server Type settings. Check your network configuration in the Control Panel then try connecting again.

First thing to do is check all of your settings. Make sure the dialer's settings are correct (maybe even delete and recreate the dialer right away), make sure that the network settings look good. Reboot.
Rip and Reinstall Dial-Up Networking, the dialer, and the network control panel. Make sure that this is a FULL, and very THOROUGH Uninstall and Reinstall.
Now that we have the regular stuff out of the way and obviously it did not work (since you are reading on), lets get to the more complicated stuff.
First start by opening the Modems control panel, going to the properties of the modem, and it's port settings. Lower the Transmit Buffer. Just a little? Alot? Welcome to variation.
Didn't work? Ok, next try. Still in the modem properties, click on the options tab and have it bring up a terminal window after dialing. When the terminal window comes up, just click continue.
Still no go? Lets leave the modem control panel then. Go back to the dialer properties and uncheck "Enable Software Compression".
Still not working? Same general area, open up the TCP/IP properties and uncheck "Use IP Header Compression".
Ok. Lets try this. Close everything and press CTRL-ALT-DEL. Reboot!
Lower the port speed of the modem. Lower the receive buffer a setting or two. Is it an older version of windows?
Is it a USRobotics/3COM Sportster? Try the init string: s12=10
Try unchecking DHCP under TCP/IP in the Network Control Panel. Usually this is already done during step one, but make sure it is by this point.
Change the computer name and workgroup names under the Identification tab in the network control panel. Make them so they will NOT conflict with anyone else on your network.
Test the modem. Reinstall drivers, inits, and have phone line tests done.
If none of this works, please call Tech Support for assistance.
