Super VGA - "meirman" wrote in messagenews:tfnnlv00acliloc9ldg2obhvogajp9hmhd@4ax.com... For the last 5 days, it's rare that I can connect with my ISP. I have win98 FE. Mostly it doesn't connect (the icon doesn't appear in the systray) and I get Error-629 You have been disconnected from the computer you dialed. OR Error-678 The computer you are dialing into doesn't answer OR Error-645 Dial-up networking could not complete the connection to the server. Check your configuration and try the connection again. Other times it connects at 19K or 28K, won't let me download mail or anything, and hangs up within 2 or 3 minutes Other times it connect at 49K or 52K and works great, but even then all but once it hung up before I was ready to, usually 10 or 20 minutes. First there is a period it doesnt' do anything. In a minute or two, a "do you want to redial" box shows up. It pauses much longer than it used to at "logging onto Network...", even when it actually connects well. Or this last time it paused a long time at "verifying username and passowrd" or words to that effect**. My ISP says it is my doing. I think it's 'cause of them. ??You have described a problem that appears to be either a modem going bad ora poor line with periods of decent conditions. First step is to undo whatthe ISP tech had you change. Put it back the way it was. Next step is todetermine whether *any* device sharing the line with the modem is causingthe problem. Remove everything on that line except the modem, make severalconnection attempts. If it works good each time, replace one item at a timeuntil you find the culprit (or culprits) causing the problem. If that doesnot clear trouble, the problem is likely in the line. It may still be themodem, however, so trying another modem on the line would be recommended. Ido not think the problem is at your ISP *unless* the problem happens only atcertain times of the day... when you are likely to hit a certain bank ofmodems. If the trouble appears to be in the line, you will have to deal withyour telco. This can be very frustrating because they don't care about yourmodem troubles, only about voice problems. So, check the line for noise byconnecting a phone to the line, going off-hook and dialing a single digitthen cover the mouthpiece and listen for static, hisses, crackling, andcrosstalk. Any noise is sufficient for reporting to the telco. If found, Isuggest calling them on the bad line as I find that it gets better resultsif the person getting the complaint can actually hear the noise. If youcannot hear any noise, don't give up. You can report the trouble as a faxproblem. Tell them you cannot send or receive faxes reliably.--Hooda Gest"The only thing I do immediately is procrastinate."
