Re:It sounds like a firewall problem to me. Does that computer have Zone Alarm or Tiny Personal Firewall installed? Does the DSL modem have it's own firewall software? Check its configuration if you can access it in any way or bug your ISP's tech support again and try to find someone who has a clue.
If you can ping out, get email, browse the web but can't do certain other things it's likely that the traffic is being blocked somewhere. As a test you could try bringing that computer to your place or wherever that has known good net access. You could also bring in another computer to your brother's DSL connection and try it there. By doing both those things you could pinpoint whether your problem was in the computer, DSL modem, or both.

Re:I've tried to get ahold of tech support 3 times.
Basically all they said was,as long as you can browse and get email,they can't help me.
i tried to explain to them what the problem was,and she didn't have a clue what i was talking about.
didn't even know what ICQ or AIM was to boot.
told me to call the program,and or game company and have them help me.
that sorta sucked i thought.
As far as reinstalling TCP/IP,should i uninstall the PPPOE deal as well?
Just not use to this USB Modem crap.
and the connection is ran straight.no LAN,Hub,Router etc.
Thanks for any help.
Shawn.
Re:Contact your ISP tech support first.
Is that direct connection? no router?
Re:could be as simple as a configuration problem on your end (like uninstalling the TCP/IP stack or renaming your computer) or it could be some sort of firewall on your ISP – call them up see what they got running (even though I doubt this one)
