This article identifies a somewhat different error message,
specifically in the context of a virtual private network (VPN)
connection. Mea culpa.
You might look once again at the articles brought up by a Google
search, such as those mentioned below.
By the way, in addition to consulting online troubleshooting
articles, assistance with dial-up problems such as yours is available
from two campus consulting offices: one (Connecting@Berkeley
Consulting) for faculty and staff, and the second (the Student
Computer Consulting Service [SCCS]) for students. For further
details about both, see "Getting Help Connecting to the Internet" at:

--Searching for a fragment of the error phrase you mentioned, "does not respond to a network request" (enclosed in double quotes exactly as shown here) in the Google search engine:
<http://www.google.com/search?q=%22does%20not%20respond%20to%20a%20network%20request%22>
brought up a list of links to Web pages that provide a variety of troubleshooting suggestions for this problem. (Unfortunately, doing a search like this can generate some 'hit or miss' results.) Most of these pages suggest re-configuring or re-installing various Windows networking components.
Some examples of pages which appear to provide relatively easy to understand (if perhaps not always trivial to carry out ;-) suggestions, some of these perhaps with ISP-specific configuration details, included:
