disconnecting OK but I couldn't reopen the connection again for several

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up my friends home network. They have 2 PCs connected via ethernet and one laptop on wireless. The router is a wireless router / modem from 2wire. PC number 2 and the laptop both connect with no issues. PC number 1 is weird though. I can go to 192.168.1.254 and it opens up the router system page and I can go through and change and view settings. However when I try to go to any websites it immediately goes to "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." I have tried netscape and the iTunes store and nothing can connect to the web. I have linux ubuntu on a Live CD and I can boot from that and it connects to the internet just fine.

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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been an XP Home SP1 user for quite a while now. I've been hesitant to upgrade to SP2, because I've heard that some common software does not work properly on SP2. Is there any truth to this? Should I stop worrying and just upgrade? Note that my typical usage includes Eudora email, Mozilla web browser,MS Office Pro 2003, some rudementary Eclipse/Java and Visual C++ programming, Norton AV 2005, and Adaware.Also of note is that I am about to change my Internet service from dial-up to DSL, so perhaps there are some firewall considerations.

I have computers sharing ICS, it is set to drop the connection after 5 minutes of inactivity, which it does. But it dials back a few seconds later. I deselected redial if line dropped and lowered the redial attempts, but it still does it. What do I do? I’d like the computers to have dial on demand, but I would like the connection to be free when not needed. These computers don’t have permission to access Windows updates and I keep them spyware and virus free as best I can.

View 1 Replies View RelatedXP 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.

The dial-up modem (Motorola sm56 Speakerphone, Voice/Data/Fax)works well on Win ME without any disconnections, but it frequently disconnects from the line at will, on Win XP, particularly when there is a slight delay in receiving bytes. I've not found anything in configuration that should lead it to delink.
