ERROR 720: NETWORK PROROCOL (W98)

[LawrenceLN]

I get this error: "ERROR 720. 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 and then try the connection again." I can't seem to fix this. What is the fix??

This link has several proposed solutions.

Error 720: No Protocols Configured.

This error is most often caused by the following:

DUN or TCP/IP component is corrupt or corrupt DUN connection settings.

Remove all network components. Click OK. If prompted to restart the computer. Click NO. Double click Add/Remove Programs. If Win95, look for Dial-Up Networking 1.2 or 1.3 update in the list of applications on the Install/Uninstall tab. If one or the other is present, uninstall it and Restart Windows. If Win98 or no Dial-Up Networking 1.2 or 1.3 update is shown in the list of applications on the Install/Uninstall tab then click to the Windows Setup tab. Remove all communications components. Click OK.
Remove the "HKey_Current_User\RemoteAccess" registry key after backing up the registry.
Restart the computer. Reinstall DUN and other communications components but DO NOT install MS Virtual Private Networking.
If you removed winsock2 or a DUN upgrade say NO to all version conflicts. If neither of these were present say YES to version conflicts.
Restart the computer.
Reinstall the necessary network components in the network control panel.
Confirm that the Computer Name and Workgroup are valid. Vaild means 8 characters or less in letter and/or number combinations in all lower case letters.
Click OK on the network control panel window.
If you removed winsock2 or a DUN upgrade say NO to all version conflicts. If neither of these were present say YES to version conflicts.
Restart the computer.
Login to Windows with a valid User Name. If the member is not using profiles any name will do. The username "me" without the quotes works quite nicely. If the member is using profiles have them login with their username but make sure its valid (being 8 characters or less with no caps or spaces) Create and configure a new DUN connection.
Configure the Internet Control Panel to use the new DUN connection for its autodial settings.
Make sure the phone wire is firmly plugged into the wall and the modem.
Try connecting again.
