BT Boradband - Cannot Connect!

Hi all,
Dont know if anyone will be able to help me here. I ordered BT Broadband
last week, and was given a connection date of Wednesday, however it is
connected today, being Monday. The data light has stopped flashing etc.
Anyways, when I go to connect via the DUN that I created myself, I am told
that "The computer you're dialing in to cannot establish a Dial-Up
Networking connection.
Check your password, and then try again." Now the last time I used BT
Broadband, you didnt need a username or password, you could type anything in
and it would work. Is this still the case? Are there any other reasons why
I would be getting this message?
TIA
Andrew

Is BT Boradband another service from BT, on top of BT Broadband and BT
Openworld Broadband?

It is BT Broadband, the Internet, without the service LOL. I had it before
and was told I could use any old username and password because there was no
service with it, the server didnt need to know who I was. It is NOT BT
Openworld! Whats all this about strict mode? Some info: I am using a
Fujitsu FDX 310 modem, and the bit down nextt o the clock says: Staet: DATA.
Modulation G.DMT, Data Rates are (recieve) 288, (transmit) 576. I created a
DUN Connection with the phone number 0,38 thats what Ive used previously
with no problems, maybe this is wrong? Ive checked all the setting within
DUN and I have set it to use the Fujitsu and no my 56K modem, and I cant
think of any other setting in there that would make this do this. I called
the BT Broadband support desk and was told that my line shouldn't be
activated yet, and as I am not being charged for the service, they will not
help me until Wednesday. I know its only a few days, but Its annoying me!
And I am also under the impression that if its not working now, it wont be
working on Wednesday either...
Thanks for any help!

did you try a userid of (E-Mail Removed)in to test if adsl is
working yet

I am replying to everyone here so please excuse my complete disregard for
snipping as all posts are relevant.
I did use the (E-Mail Removed), which did not work. I reached the
conclusion that it wouldnt be working on Wednesday either because it was
true!
Anyways, thanks for all your help. I am now connected to BTBroadband after
calling up and acting stupid. Told the advisor I had not recieved a
username/password in the post yet, and asked her to tell me it. Turn out
that the username is (E-Mail Removed) and leave the
password field blank. Got it working now!

Thanks VERY much for everyone assitance in this matter!
