Well, the obvious thing would be to check with the ISP that you've got the 
right username/password and then make very sure that the keyboard isn't 
putting any spurious characters into the password field.  Sorry, but I can't 
remember, is this a completely new connection?  Or an existing one?  As they 
might have cocked up the details if it's a new one.  Who is the ISP?

Also, it's worth making sure you've got all the right settings for the router, 
again ask the ISP.

HTH
