ISP Authentication Issues

Why do I get an "Authentication Failure" when I try to connect to the Internet?

When you establish a Turbo Internet connection, your user name and password at the ISP's server to validate your account.  If your user name or password is incorrect, an authentication failure will occur.  Verify on the Protocol tab of the Turbo Internet Property page that your PPP user name and password are correct.

Note: If you chose a DirecPC service plan that included a bundled ISP account, your PPP login user name will be prefixed by HLC/DPC/.  For example, if you chose a bundled ISP service plan and selected dpcuser as your user name, then your PPP login user name would be HLC/DPC/dpcuser
