First thing you want to do is check your protocols configured for your PPP dial-up. Under Dial-Up Networking, look to make sure only TCP/IP protocol is selected. Turn off NETBEUI and IPX/SPX. You can still use these protocols on your LAN connection, but you shouldn't use them on your dial-up. Then, check your DNS configuration for the PPP dial-up. Make sure you've put in your ISP's DNS servers.
 
thanks for the answer, rgautier. I tried earlier and went thro.
 
For testing :

Try using unsecured password option, maybe password encryption got problem or doesn't match to your ISP.
If not, try also some of the options in Dial-up connection properties. Yes, it's trial and error thing :).
