I have an idea and for me a complete and total solution.

Get this...

My problems had to do with my ISP dial up number! I'm not kidding.

I started to notice that while I was on the road, dailing in from different city local access numbers, I could access everything just fine.

Then when I returned home...blatto. Nothing.

So...I tried dialing in from home by long distancing to a number I know worked while on the road and bingo...it works.

And the reverse is true. I'm at LAX right now and it's working fine on a local LAX area access number, but if I call my old home access number...blatto...nothing.

I dail up using AOL/CompuserveNet local access numbers. Maybe it's some stupid firewall issue at the Network interface that effects some dial-in locations or other methods of access?

All I know is that I went through the list of local access numbers for my home area one-by-one and determined which ones worked and which didn't and switched to those that did and now have no problems.

This even solved the same problem for a friend on a Mac Desktop (I'm Windows).

This also solved my problem accessing my account using majonguy's itncheck progam!

Very freaky. But I'm finally back to 100% on everything all the time.
