Why would you want to do that
I've had a couple of occasions when my brodband was down, but the phone line was still working.  The only way to log on to read my emails was to dig out the old 56k modem and use BTYahoo dial-up.
It's painfully slow, but better than nothing.
I thought thats what mobile phones were designed for(reading/writing emails)   Nobody ever talks on them any more.

  • Downloading software updates on dial-up connection. Any faster way?

    I would like to download and install the Mac OS X Update Combined version 10.5.6. However, I am on a dial-up connection (High speed not available) and downloading the 657 MB will take . . . wait for it . . . 68 hours.
    Is the update available any other way?
    Thanks!

    Hi Wandatoo;
    I am totally flabbergasted to hear that your Apple dealer refused your request. So far everyone I have asked did it without any questions at all.
    You might try a library. Most libraries today have high speed connections and computers. If the download will take a significant amount of time they may ask you to come in at an off hour.

  • Sending dial up connection to a wired base station?

    Hi have a powerbook G4 Ti with airport card, an extreme base station and an emac with a dial up connection. I was wondering if anybody knows how I can route the dial up connection via ethernet to the base station so I can get the dial up connetion through airport to surf wirelessly on the powerbook. Any comments greatly appreciated. TIA

    Presumably you don't want to do this the easy way, by using the dialup modem built into the Airport Extreme Base Station?
    To use the dialup modem in the eMac is a bit convoluted. You need to do the following:
    - set up internet connection sharing (in System Preferences->Sharing) on the eMac. See also:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh336.html
    - you need to run the Airport Admin Utility from the Powerbook, and disable the router built into the Base Station by unchecking the box next to "Distribute IP addresses" found under the Network tab of that utility.
    - you need to cable the Base Station's LAN (not WAN) port to the eMac's ethernet port
    - and then every time you want to access the internet you must (a) first establish the dialup connection from the eMac and then (b) restart the Powerbook to force it to obtain a renewed IP address from the eMac.
    It would also be much easier to just get rid of the Base Station, install an Airport card in the eMac, and use the eMac as a "software base station".

  • Want to disable/"grey out" dial-up connection "settings" button in the "connections" tab of Internet Options

    Hi, I'm looking to "grey out" a dial-up connection for some users in workplace, so that they are forced to use our VPN client in order to access the web. Does anyone know if this is possible?
    I know you can disable all settings on that tab using local group policy, (e.g. Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer) but I only want to disable a specific dial-up connection (for usb 3G modems).
    I've read of various IE settings being locked down in the registry here, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions, but havent seen the settings I want.
    The actual connection is visible here, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections, I just cant figure out how to grey it out. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • USB Modem dial up connection Mac 2 Mac -  possible?

  • E71x Dial-up connection for internet access on ph...

    When I lived in Africa I would use either google talk or skype to speak with my family back in the States. Wifi was extremely rare especially in my area so I had to connect via a dial-up connection. When I bought my E71x, I installed "Fring" on it (an amazing app) and I am able to call and speak to someone on google talk or skype over my phone. My question is, how do I setup a dialup access point for my cell phone so that I can access the internet and google talk/skype by that connection? Thanks, Joshua

    I don't use either Fring or Skype in my handset, I use a program called truphone from www.truphone.com and the network settings enable you to use it via 3G GPRS or WiFi.
    You should check with your network operator that this is permitted, as most see VoIP services as revenue loss and will disable the ports or charge extra for the service.

  • BM VPN causing dial-up connections to disappear - Air Card

    I'm having an issue with BM VPN. I have an end user on an XP laptop who needs to connect via BM VPN using his Verizon Wireless Broadband Air Card. The Broadband Cards are always listed under Dial-Up Connections in Network Connections, but after installing BM VPN, the dial-up connections are no longer there and if I try to manually create a connection, it is greyed out. Also, to no avail, the following services in XP are not turned on and for the life of me I cannot get them to start:
    Remote Accesss Auto Connection Manager
    Remote Accesss Connection Manager
    From what I've read, these services must be on in order to create a new dial-up connection. The Broadband card refuses to connect due to the fact that a dial-up connection cannot be created. The Broadband card and software were installed and working before BM VPN was installed. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling BM VPN, but that didn't fix the problem.
    Also, if I look under the Novell Client properties, Location Profiles Tab, VPN, Properties, Properties again, and finally the VPN Dial-Up tab, there is a message that says "A VPN dial-up initialization has occurred. Microsoft Dial-Up Networking is not installed." I don't know if this means anything or is related to the problem, but I thought I'd relay this information as well. I looked for ways to reinstall the Microsoft Dial-Up Networking, but all articles refer to Windows 95 or 98 installations. I've also reinstalled Windows XP SP3 successfully, but it didn't fix the problem.
    Has anyone else ever ran into a problem like this and can help me? I'm so lost and desperate for help. Thanks.

    I'm not sure how to recover on the system that is currently broken -
    though I suspect some form of remove/reinstall MS components should get
    you back running again.
    When you install the VPN client, and you select the dial-up option, it
    basically tries to integrate the MS dial up networking system into VPN
    menus. I don't think it really invents anything new there. If there
    is something non-standard on the dial-up entries, it may be that the
    VPN installation doesn't handle it properly. I don't know, because
    I've not installed that component or used it in years.
    What I would recommend is to not install the dial-up component on with
    the VPN client. Just leave it off, make a usual dial-up connection,
    and then launch the VPN client. The VPN dial-up component just
    tries to manage all of that so you do it with less button clicks.

  • I lost the dial up connection dialog box. I unchecked a check item in the dial connetion box. How do I get the dial up connection back?

    I established a dial up connection by updating to automatic the remote managers and telephony in administrative tool services area on my XP system according to firefox help instructions.
    At first I had a dial up connection but I unchecked an item in the
    dial up connection box. I am not sure what I unchecked or toggled
    off. I then lost the dial up connection. I need to get the dial connection dialog box back. What needs to be done
    Thank you.

    I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
    But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
    If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
    Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
    BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
    What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
    I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
    I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
    I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
    BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
    Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

  • Changing/Adding Numbers to the Network/Dial-Up Connection Thing-a-ma-bob...

    I would like to do this:
    *Put these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers...*
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    But I am scared to death to try. I get connected without a hitch now, and I do NOT want to disturb that!!! I don't know what I am doing with this, but if it will improve the speed and stability of my dial-up connection so I can successfully download and install my updates, I will risk it.
    How much chance do I have of messing my connect-ability up altogether?
    And how do I go about doing it properly?
    Cyan

    99.999999% safe and easy to undo, but to make it even nearer 100%...
    In the Network Pref Pane, choose the Location drop down, choose Edit Locations, then choose Duplicate... now you have one you can paste those numbers into, and just switch Locations back if need be without changing any numbers.
    It's safe though anyway really.:-)

  • Where is the option to set up a dial-up connection in firefox 12?

    I am using a G3 USB modem as my internet connection - Firefox 12 seems to think I'm connecting through a network when I'm using a dial-up connection.
    IF I open IE8 first - which automatically dials the connection and then open Firefox 12 connect quite happily BUT if I just open Firefox 12 I get no connectivity,
    I want to use Firefox 12 cos I dislike IE8 - how do I tell Firefox 12 that it is meant to auto-dial a dial-up connection?

    Hi Tobbi,
    Thank you.
    I've followed the instructions, Rebooted, opened Firefox 12 and got the 'No connection' error again.
    Checked in services - those 3 are running - so I guess the answer is NO. no help but thanks
    Also, it says no auto-disconnect option - download 'hang up' but that link seems to be dead - Firefox can't find the server at www1.physik.tu-muenchen.de.
    Any ideas please?

  • Dial Up Connection or lack of !

    I have been trying for several days now to establish a dial up connection at my mothers home without success. Both the BT Dial Up department and BT Fault reporting have been exceedingly helpful in trying to give assistance but the end result remains "No Dial Tone" when the modem tries to connect. BT have increased the gain on the line as much as possible without success.
    They tell me the property is 6km from the exchange and this could be the problem. I thought every phone line should be able to get dial up regardless of distance from the exchange.
    I have tried disabling the modem option to listen for a diial tone and also plugged directly into the inside of the master socket with no joy.
    BT have offered to send a field engineer but have stated if he finds he can get a dial up signal with his equipment there will be a charge and I can't take that chance.
    Does anyone have any ideas. I am using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and an external US Robotics USB modem. When I connect using the same sign in and configuration at my own property everything is just fine so it would not seem to be anything to do with settings or computer hardware. 
    I originally intended to use a mobile broadband doingle but the address is in a total blackspot on all networks. Broadband is too expensive for the minimul use needed at my mums address and I guess that could even struggle being 6km from the exchange.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Dial- up- Connection pop-up

    I upgraded from WRT54GX2 Router & WPC54GX4 Notebook Adapter to a WRT160N Router & WPC600N Notebook Adapter. Installation was a breeze, everything work great except LELA. LELA works somedays. My problem is now I get the "Dial-up-connection" pop-up menu which causes IE to switch to "Work offline". I just cancel the "Dial-up-connection" menu, then another pop-up "Webpage unavailable while offline" which I also cancel, then uncheck "Work Offline" on the Internet Option menu. After all this, my Internet connection comes back until the pop-up menu appears again. Never had this issue with the WRT54GX2 or WPC54GX4. Does anyone have a solution to this annoying problem?
