Call the ISP. This reminds me of the "fake connects" that my ISP sometimes gives
me.
I speculate that there is one server with the IDs and PWs and then it passes control
to another one. The second server has crashed or become corrupted and is disconnecting
you.
My ISP gets me to a similar state where I appear to be connected but nothing comes
back. The problem always clears up shortly after 8am Eastern Daylight Time when
the people at the ISP's HQ start work for the day.
