Maybe we can narrow it down systematically to sort out where the problem
is. It's odd that you appear to have had a connection until you got
your username and password. Since the Internet runs under a standard
protocol (TCP/IP), you should have all the connection software built
into OS X- named the BSD TCP/IP stack. So the setup and registration
software may be the problem- perhaps with some typo in the username
and/or password?
