Need help with a computer problem guys!

Gday Folks! I just loaded WinXP with SP1 onto my brother's computer. The installation of Windows went fine and smooth and runs like a dream. The problem occured when you try and log on to the internet (using a 56k SOFT56 Modem and dial-up). The log in gets up to "Verifying Username and Password" and then stops and comes up with a box that says " All Devices are Conected" then below it is " Error 6 : The handle is Invalid". Then it wants to re-dial. Im stumped! I have reloaded the connection software and re-installed the modem and its software about 6 times to no avail.
Please help people, as someone on here must have an idea how to fix this. Apart from this error when trying to logon, the computer runs sweet!
Help Me!
Regards, Ben.

ok first off dude, this is the wrong section.. I know there isnt a section on Toymods this would fit into.. but I think admin are starting to get annoyed. so perhaps this wasnt a good idea 
Anyway.. to the problem. I've heard of this problem before and I think its somesort of hardware problem. I beleive it can be fixed by resetting your motherboards BIOS. this is either done with a jumper, or you can remove the battery for 15 seconds if its an older motherboard.
If this dousnt work, try physically taking your modem out of the PCI slot and trying another slot, or if theres any PCI cards in your PC you dont use, try removing them and see if it fixes the problem. It could be some sort of IRQ conflict.
I'll PM a copy of this msg as well because when Admin finds it they will no doupt delete it
Hope it helps and goodluck
P.S. If this dousnt work, try the forums on www.valhalla.net.au
They are a local based set of forums for a LAN, and have been help full in the past for problems I've had.
