Problem With Dial Up - Connect - Disconnect

Jun 30, 2005

I began having a problem with the dial-up "connect to" function it was
disconnecting OK but I couldn't reopen the connection again for several
minutes afterward because the Properties window would show whenever I
clicked the ISP link So I tried to restore the system, but for the first time ever, any of the restore points I try, all I get after it goes through the process is a
message "Could not restore to.There are quite a few restore points and
none of them work.First, what would cause this? Then, what should I do about it?

Not Allow Me To Disconnect Internet

Dec 6, 2005

I have always been able to disable my internet connections by simply going to Start - Connect To - and right clicking the connection and clicking disable. Well recently it will not allow me to do this. I get this error message titled Error Disabling Connection "It is not possible to disable the connection at this time. The connection may be using one or more protocols that do not support Plug and Play, or it may have been initiated by another user or the system account." This began happening right after I hooked up a USB mp3 player to the computer, so I am thinking that this may have caused the problem. When it automatically loaded the drivers it came up with a message that said that the drivers had not passed windows xp testing but I went ahead and loaded them anyway. The mp3 player does work fine though.

DSL Disconnect - Won't Allow Connection

Jun 26, 2005

The oddest thing. About every Wed and either Sat or Sun. The DSL connection or something in Windows won't allow connection, and I can't access online. I have to restart the computer, then all is well until Wed. or Sat/Sun. I've called SBC/Global and they can't find anything. It seems to be a timing thing that resets to Wed and Sat/Sun. I've been keeping track. This started a couple of months ago. Has anyone else encounted this? What to do. Everything goes back to normal when I restart.

Cannot Disconnect Mapped Drive

Jan 26, 2007

I can't disconnect some drives that are mapped on a WinXP Pro workstation. I wanted to remove the drive mapping names as they were badly outdated and so deleted the registry key. where the entries were found and then rebooted.Now the connections show up as "Disconnected Network Drive" but all still work. However, I can't disconnect any of them and the "Disconnected Network Drive" will not update to the name of the machine/share even when I go into the share and use it. Really, this is a test machine because I wanted to apply a reg via policyto clear out the strings on logon/logoff so that these were fixed all over the company. I don't understand why this thing is misbehaving though, the key get's recreated and has the name of one machine, but not the others.

Cannot Connect To Internet But Can Connect To Router

Aug 6, 2008

I'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.

No Dial Tone For Fax

Oct 4, 2009

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.

Faster Dial Up: Like Onspeed In The UK?

Feb 19, 2005

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?

Upgrade SP1 Home SP2 - Dial Up To DSL

Jul 11, 2005

I'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.

Dial Up Re-dials After Inactivity

Jun 17, 2005

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.

Dial Up Connection / Small Screen Comes Up

Mar 30, 2007

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
