Tesco's are probably re-selling another ISPs product to you
how does your P.C connect to the internet?
can you set up a conection with windows dial up networking?
dou you have to use a tesconet dialer to connect on your P.C

How are you paying for access to this ISP?

Pay as you go
call charges are based on local rate, and the dil up number begins with 0845, you pay for each minute you are conected and this charge is added to your phone bill.

subscription
You pay tesco net a certian amount per month and for this you get access to a special number that does not incur charges.

[Mr_Crow]

AHA! thats IT!!! you are a genious dude!! im on Subscription, ive put the pay as you go number in!
man i owe u
=D

[Mr_Crow]

aaaww bumflaps.....how do i find out the other number?

[Rich_T]

your dial up number should be displayed when you dial up on your P.C, using the windows dial up networking
it should give the name of the serice your conecting to, your user anme and your pass word as ****** s

If your thinking of upgrading to broadband have a look at http://www.adslguide.org.uk

[Mr_Crow]

the number it uses is sumin like 08007****02 is that the right number? ( btw tht isnt the number its just a sorta example) and it says that at the bottom when it tells you what it is doing

[Rich_T]

looks like the one, try it and see what happens.

[Mr_Crow]

i did try it tho without the 1470 and without the ****20

hmm, i had a simalar problem when setting up my dreamcast to recieve e-mail from my ISP the address was too long and i couldnt use the e-mail function, there was no way round it.

As for your problem, i dont have any expeirience of sing the gamecube modem, however on the dreamcast modem set up there was a option to add in a number for an external line, i think this was called the outside line in the set up.
if a number is entered here, your gamecube modem should dial it before the main number, put the firts chunk of the dial up number into the outside line option, and the second chunk into the main dial up number.

To check you have the correct number, pick up your hone and dial that number as if you were making a normal phone call, you should hear a squarky noise like you do when your P.C connects.
