I'm trying to set up a remote connection so I can control and troubleshoot my other computer from my house, we both use dial up and windows xp is this feasible? What is the program that I want to look at? I've searched around but there isn't much mention of dialup anymore these days and we both cannot get any type of broadband

I have an XP laptop that has both a dial up and an ethernet location. When at work I use an ethernet cable to check e-mail and connect to the internet. When at home I use a mindspring dial up. When I am at work with my ethernet connection, whenever I try to get onto the internet I get a message saying that I am offline. A get a message asking me to connect or cancel. When I connect, it does take me to the correct page. This happens all of the time. I can connect to each page every time I get this message but is seems to think I am in dial up mode.

loose dial-up connection, after you log off your computer simply add this string to your registry, and your computer will keep your connection after you log off, and switch user until you disconnect it Standard Warning: You really should back up your system before making any changes to your registry
1. Open Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinlogon.
3. Click
Add String Value within the Edit menu.4. Type KeepRasConnections in the dialog box, and select REG_SZ as theData Type.5. Click OK.6. In the next dialog box, type 1 and click OK.7. Close the Registry Editor

to get faster internet speed.Its almost like I have dial up!! Is there any program out there that will boost internet connections? I went to the control panel and deleted any unused programs and cleaned out the computer temp and other files this morning... (or does memory have anything to do with speed?

When I click on a link which asks me to send an email, a small screen comes up headed New Messages. The From and To fields are already filled in correctly when it appears but when I type my message/request/whatever, along comes another screen headed Dial Up Connection and then Connect btinternet.com (my ISV.) My name again is correctly filled in with a space saying if I want to change this password what password? to enter it in space provided.
I have tried every known password which I have ever used and when I press to connect, another little screen pops up telling me that it is 'unable to establish connection.' how to get around this? I end up copying and pasting the original link into my btYahoo mail box and sending it that way. A tad long winded

I have a Gateway 560GE 3.0 GHZ Windows XP. I don't understand what is going on with my computer connecting to the internet. It will usually connect ok in the morning but in the afternoon it won't connect at all, I use AOL or People PC to connect & neither one will connect. With People PC I get the error #721. I have McAfee spyware and Norton Internet Security 2005 on my computer

XP Pro SP2. In Network Connections folder I had an icon for a dial-up connection (which I use), a LAN connection (for wired NIC), A Wireless connection (for built in wireless card), and a 1394 connection (firewire port that XP likes to list as a connection). The NIC, wireless, and 1394 I keep set to disabled when I'm not using them. I enabled the wireless card and set up ad-hoc connection to another laptop with built-in wireless, so I could transfer some files between the two.
After I was finished, I disabled the wireless connection again. My dial-up networking connection disappeared from the Network Connections folder, and it's shortcut icon on desktop disappeared. It still showed in IE Intenet Options, and I could dial-up from there, but when I did, no computer icons appear in the taskbar, leaving me no way to disconnect except by pulling the phone cord............

I`m on a dial-up connection at the moment and each page takes ages to load. Plus I`m being nagged to get off the PC. Also, sorry if this topic is being posted in the wrong place.Anyway, my PC decided it would be fun to revert to default settings (not a BIOS issue) every time I booted it up, so I decided to reinstall XP Pro, since it was due for a reinstallation anyway.

When I open up Explorer it automatically dials my ISP and when I close it I get asked if I want to sign off of my ISP. This is a great feature. When I open Firefox it dials but it doesn't ask me to sign off when I close it. Is there a way to make it do the same thing for Firefox?

Using a dial up connection to connect to internet. Its realy tiring and irritating to wait for web pages to appear, some times it will take ages for some sites like cnet, yahoo, so please anyone can show me a software which can speed up my existing connection by saving history or something like that.

Has begun to occasionally blue screen a few minutes after initiating a dial-up connection. One time it simply froze up after clicking the dial-up connection, had to shut down and reatart. Debug log at end of this post names four Conexant modem drivers and then memory corruption. Have run memtest for 15 hours with no errors. Have uninstalled modem from device manager and reinstalled with new drivers. Tried 2 different sets of drivers, the ones from the manufacturer and ones from Windows update. (Which I normally would never put a Windows Update driver on a computer, but I was trying everything I could think of.) Then ran XP driver verifier on all drivers. It is not hot or overheating, all fans are clean and functional, and am running temp monitor program to verify. Could it simply be that the modem is on it's way out, or what should my next troubleshooting step be? ....

I went to set up a new dial up connection in XP.I went to connection wizard, I click next, I check connect to the internet, I click next, I check set up my connection manually and click next. On the how do you want to connect to the internet page, connect using a broad band connection is allready checked and the other choices are greyed out. I cannot uncheck the connect using broadband listing. Every time I try this it is the same thing.

I have put my Internet Explorer favorites on the start menu. When I click start, then favorites, and then click on a link, sometimes it will dial up and go to that particular web page as it should, it will only partially load the Internet Explorer page. It doesn't dial up and just locks at that point. When that happens I have to dial up my ISP directly, then open Internet Explorer, go to my favorites menu from there and then to the link I want

I changed from a dial-up connection to cable (Road Runner). Since then, my search engines have changed (when I search from the IE address bar, it uses MSN search now), and many pages that load, although faster, have the message "error on page" at the bottom. Outlook Express became my default email with the Road Runner email address, but most of the time it does not respond. Also, several games are slow to respond or do not respond at all (specifically CSI games and Hunting Unlimited). I run adaware and spybot at least once a week if not more, and defrag regularly. Are there extra precautions I should take with a cable connection?

I have suddenly lost my Connection icon for my Dial-up Connection that used to appear in the notification area of the toolbar. (XP Home). So far I have tried Unchecking and rechecking the box that says "show icon ion the connection area".Deleting and remaking the Connection.Tweaking the Start menu and Taskbar properties.A restore back a day.I can bring up a status box if I click on the connection after it is first connected, and shut down the connection from it, but I no longer have any other way of shutting the connection down, other than re-booting.

I have enabled ftp server on my windows 2000 server/ISA Server.Our internet connection is ADSL with US robotics router running. I configured the ISA Server to allow the ftp requests. I tested the connection using web browser as well as cute ftp and I have no problem in connecting by entering static IP Address from web browser and cute ftp.
The objective for ftp server is to share files with our clients. Now the problem is i can connect by entering my static ip address but not the internal domain name of my windows 2000 server which is tecnoserve.dxb. I dont want to give my clients our Static ip address to connect our ftp server.

Im installing a brand new pc and I just downloaded all the latest fixes and patches for the OS and the Browser.except one, KB890923. Everytime I try to launch through Windows Update it says it cant do it. SO I attempted to download and run it manually and it states that the program is not a valid Win32 application.

Am I right in thinking that they are both pretty similar except that server has support for multiple processors and extra network related tools and facilities. The reason I ask is that if a piece of software works on Windows 2000 server, is it extremely likely that it will work on Windows 2000 professional too? As a bit of background information: I work for a small company which supplies temperature monitoring equipment which needs to be networked. I've been told that it has been tested on Windows 2000 server but not on Window 2000 professional.

my cable is not working properly.Every 15-20 minutes my internet connection is broken even though the modem is online and there is no problem with the cable coming into my house. I have to reset the cable modem and then it works for another 10-20 minutes until the next cut. Ive had this problem before (last time i changed computers) but cant remember how it was resolved. I already talked to my ISP support but these guys are brain damaged or something and cannot even comprehend my problem and all 3 actually concluded that i had somehow contracted some killer virus immediately after connecting my computer and this virus was the root of my problems

I had my laptop serviced by the manufacturer. I had the hard disk restored from backup and I ran into a problem with the fax which had not existed before the service. I am trying to establish whether the problem is with the hardware which requires to send the laptop back. I have one phone line which I split into two by inserting 2 RJ11 cables into a dual connector: one goes to the phone, one to the laptop/fax. I use one device at a time, of course. When I try to fax from the laptop I don't get a dial tone. I also noticed that as long as the fax line is inserted into the connector, the phone does not get a dial tone either; when I disconnect the fax cable, the phone tone comes back.

I currently use a UK dial up connection with Connectfree to access the internet; generally without any problems. There now appear to be a number of "faster dial up" applications available (all at a cost of course) that claim to enhance speeds on average by a factor of X5. For example - Onspeed in the UK. Does anyone have any experience of any of these applications or know of any similar applications that are free. At the end of the day, I assume it is only a packet compression tool?
