FWIW, I had this error om AOL but *only* when there was a genuine
connection problem. When I fixed that, the DSL connection worked well
every time without the problems you had. I guess that AOL online help
and that "chat-help" are more geared towards solving generic problems
rather than strange things like you're seeing (the first attempt always
failing).
Sorry I can't help - hope someone else in comp.dcom.xdsl can. ANy
theories about long-running startup jobs which might be causing the
connection to fail...?
