First check to see if you have both the XP firewall and your third party firewall running. You should only have one and we suggest the third-party ones such as Zone Alarm or Sygate. Both are free. If that is not the problem, then temporally turn off your firewall and see if your dialup will work. If the dialup still does not work, then the problem is with the ISP. If your dialup works, then uninstall and reinstall the firewall or try a different firewall provider.
