Connection Issues - Internet & Email
After successfully getting rid of a virus (Winfixer) I began having problems with my Earthlink email and couldn't send or receive messages. After many frustrating on-line chats with Earthlink staff I was advised to uninstall and reinstall the Earthlink's Total Access 2005 software. So now, not only am I still unable to send/receive email, but I can no longer connect to the internet either!! After dialing up and starting to connect - it suddenly disconnects and the following message appears: Error While Connecting: The following error occurred while connecting: "The PPP link control Protocol was terminated." (I am getting no help from Earthlink staff on the phone either.) Can anyone please help in user friendly terms? Thank you very much!! (I am sending this from work.)

ARose,
Try the link below. Download the zip version and read the Read Me file. I have used it to correct loss of connection,but only on DSL and cable.
