Due to frequent travel I still use a dialup connection on Guam, to save ISP fees for broadband.
After booting up and logging in to my ISP, Eudora and Firefox both work fine.
If I Disconnect from the ISP, and close the software.I cannot check email and Firefox cannot see any server.
So I have to reboot as I only have one phone line and need to keep the line clear...this is very annoying.
This is very odd - whenever I use "safely remove hardware" to disconnect my USB pen drive, my broadband modem resets. I'm sure it didn't used to do this, in fact it seems to have only been happening for a week or so - maybe something in a recent update has changed its behaviour ?The really strange thing is that I don't even have to actually remove any piece of hardware - right now the only thing connected which appears on the removable list is the modem, and just clicking on the icon to see the list

View 14 Replies View RelatedDell B110/ XP/ 512RAM. I always use standby mode, and it's not a problem. Except sometimes, I bring the computer out of standby and start the dialup connection as usual, but the connection icon does not appear. Things seem ok for about 10-15 minutes, then everything locks up and I have to restart. The computer functions normally after that. This happens about once a week (using the computer every day). Is there something about standby mode that cause this, or am I doing something wrong?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Win XP Professional and have a question about User
accounts.My computer is a standalone PC with 5 users. No network. I connect to
the internet using dialup. I have a lot of older software, and games too, and I read see over and over that you have to have administrator privileges to run them.From messing around in Linux in the past, I know that it can be a bad
thing for everyone to be logged in on administrator accounts. Even the
XP help files say that you should only log in as administrator when you
absolutely have to. My problem is that the "Limited" account is too
limited, and the "Administrator" account is too open.
I just recently had to get rid of a virus, and even though multiple virus check software says that I'm clean, I'm still having trouble in that I can't connect to the internet through dialup anymore. Looking through avasts log shows that kernel32.dll, winsock.dll, and wsock32.dll were all infected, so I believe that there is residual corruption on these files. Because I can't just replace kernel32.dll, I was wondering if there was a way I could fix both winsock.dll and winsock32.dll. I have my xp reinstall disk and was thinking maybe I could extract it from there, but have no idea how to do this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently reinstalled Windows XP Home on a friends computer, but when I went
to create their dialup connection to the internet, I couldn't.I went into the 'Internet Connection Wizard'. Told it that I was connecting directly to the internet. Then I told it I was going to set up the connection manually. But whenever the option comes up to setup a dial-up or broadband connection, the dial-up option is greyed out and unselectable.In device manager, it shows my modem as being fine. It's installed with no conflicts.
dial-up modem (Broadxent DSI V.92 PCI DI3631) connects to the Internet and finishes the noise, the comp screen goes black (with a weird bar of blurred arrows on the bottom--it's a bit hard to explain that part)
I've downloaded caller ID software. I paid for caller id. I just spent about two

the 50 or so places I've been.
I recently reinstalled XP home on my Dell Dimension 8250 and now it won't see my Actiontec GT704-WG modem.
Modem/router working just fine, am wireless online with it on my laptop right now, all lights green.
Have checked TCP/IP and DNS to automatically detect in settings IE will not let me log onto router w/ "dslmodem" or "192.168.0.1" I get "The page cannot be displayed".When I run a repair connection on my "LAN or High-Speed Internet" I get the following message: "The following steps of the repair operation failed: Renewing the IP address. Please contact your network administrator or ISP." Device manager says network adapter is working.Have tried many, many fixes recommended on various sites and forums where problem was nearly identical, but to no avail.Have tried setting up a separate broadband connection via the connection wizard and get "Error 678" for my attempt.Have rebooted, redownloaded drivers etc. and am seeing yellow question marks on Device Manager for Ethernet controller, Multimedia Audio Controller, PCI Input Device & Texas Instruments RNDIS Adapter. I downloaded the ethernet driver from dell (orange light on ethernet cable when plugged in), but the update driver utility would NOT see/find the file no matter where it was downloaded to. Switched the router to USB cable instead. Router shows green light with either when in use. Have rebooted and replugged everything MULTIPLE times in varying order.
This may not be the NG for this but occasionally my modem goes offline for a reason which I haven't determined. The only way I know to get it back on line again is to close and restart the computer, and then I can redial.Otherwise, I can't.I feel there must be some way of re-setting the modem without having to
close down and open up again. Is there?
When I upgraded my system from Win ME to Win XP last week I have a problem with it losing my modem. Every time I shut down I have to restall the modem and redo all my ISP info.

I had this problem before and solved it. However could not remember how !!!I use a broad band for most tasks.

Please the other program and tru again. if error persists re-start yourcomputer".There is no other program running as I have rebooted my computer several times.Diagnostics does not work at all.Eventually there is a startup program taking the modem but I do not know what it could be.Sure this situation has been occurred with some of you

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have had an issue just crop up on my dell dimension 4550 running xp pro, 2.53 p4 with 1 gig of ram. Seems that everything is fine until I connect to a web page. I can start IE, and everything is fine, utilization is 0-20%, but once I type in a url and hit go, cpu goes to 100%, eventually the web page loads after a few minutes or more(on dial up, 56k) where this only took seconds in the past. Have current virus defintions, running ms antispyware also current. If I finally disconnect from the internet, and close IE, cpu utilization goes back down. I gave up and restored from a ghost image from a month ago back when i know it was working, and it still is doing the same thing and it has me stumped. I was thinking maybe its having hard drive issues, but it works fine unless I connect to the internet. Also, I can simply bring up IE and it works fine, no pegged CPU, but as soon as I connect to my isp and try to load a web page, cpu goes to 100% and does not recover. Looking at task mngr, ieexplorer and explorer.exe are really the only things that are taking all the cpu time.

I never saw it used, just connected.Thinking about this since all they had was a wire was why can't I do that instead of this 56k modem ?They said something about I can if I use road runner.What are they talking about ?It shows my 1394 connection this moment as active. @ 400 bps.Before I took it to the shop, my LAN and 1394 were both disabled.I'm thinking this 1394 being enabled may be what's slowing my modem down now.If that's true I'd just as soon have the 1394 disabled again.more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html
