Dial up Connection question

Does anyone know if there is a program that will display the dial up speed when logging into your ISP. Internet Connect used to but, they don't offer it in 10.5. I have already tried copying it for 10.4 but, it will not work for me with 10.5.
Thanks,
Barry

Pondini,
Nothing seems to be there. This is what I had there and the last entry was June 24. Maybe because it don't show up going through the Airport Extreme. It does seem to show up when I used the usb modem but, no speeds.
Thanks
Barry

HT5730 After I installed 10.8.48.4 Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection. How can I get back to normal operating speed?

After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely. How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode? Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

How do I get rid of annoying dial-up connection boxes?

The Dial-up Connection box appears every time I use my computer. (I don't use dial-up) Is there a simple way to get rid of this. It has only been for the last month or two. (I'm using Firefox)

Hello tackettr, i think the question is not related with firefox, but check if the next is helpful : http://www.ehow.com/how_6760092_stop-microsoft-dial_up-connection-pop_ups.html

How to have my dial up connection added to the network utility program?

how to have my dial up connection added to the network utility program for monitoring? though i am connected by dial-up, the connection is not monitored by the utility program. the drop down box there does not show the modem at all. ?

Huh? I don't understand what you are asking. I just pulled up the network utility and I don't see what kind of connection monitoring it does for any kind of connection? What kind of information are you looking to obtain? What problem are you interested in solving by having your question answered?

USB Modem dial up connection Mac 2 Mac - possible?

I am trying to find a replacement terminal emulation programme to replace ZTerm. Now that I have an Apple USB modem, ZTerm is useless but I can't find a program that will work in a similar way using USB rather than Serial to connect two computers over a dial up connection.
Anybody?

I did some research and I ran into the FAQ below and it appears that Apple does not provide a USB Modem driver for Windows. We really need to hear from someone who has actually found the driver and is using this modem with Windows.

Connecting via dial up connection

On a cisco router that has an aux port can be set up with a dial up connection as a backup. But, my question is how is this set up? for example, Do I plug in a land line to the router, setup the router aux port, and then dial in from anywhere? Or, is it the same as explained previously, but instead of plugin in a land line to the router I need a modem such as the Multi Tech MultiModem ZDX V.92 Voice/Data/Fax Modem? so it will be connected phone to modem and modem to router?
Thank you.
Alex

Alex
You would connect phone line to modem and connect modem to aux port.

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.

I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black

80 GB iPod and a dial-up connection

Hello everyone,
Can someone please tell me if it is possible to use the 80GB iPod with a dial-up connection? I know that it is a lot slower and I am worried that it may affect the downloading process of a movie or book. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Compaq Windows XP

Hi saem,
When you sync your iPod with iTunes, it actually doesn't relate to connections with the Internet.
iTunes doesn't connect to the Internet to simply sync with your iPod (apart from going to the internet to check your if your iPod's firmware is the latest), so I don't see how you could have problems, in that respect.
(I just proved this to myself - I disconnected from the Internet during an iPod sync, and it was all successful.)
Now, if your computer have a full, slow hard drive, or lower RAM than normal, that's different (since those kinds of things don't exactly pertain to Internet connection, Dial-Up or not).
Forgive me if I didn't read your question properly, or something.

Internet Dial-up connect without Comcast cable ?

What hardware/accessories are needed to establish an internet connection via HiSpeed dialup service
Want to use Copper.net(eg) and quit paying for & using Comcast DSL modem(they are a monopoly here in Jersey City,charging $50/month) ???
Is this even possible ? I have only this one computer & no network.

King H.:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
To use a dial up connection go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Network > Show > Internal Modem and set up account information. To do your regular dialing up you can to to Applications > Internet Connect. Select Show modem status in menu bar and connect either from Internet Connect or clicking the phone on the menu bar and selecting Connect.
To get more info on this you can call Tech Support and the ISP and they will guide your through the process. You can also, while you have System Preferences open, go to the Help menu, launch the Help Viewer and browse for the topic you need.
Please post back with any specific questions on this subject.
Good luck.

How do I erase an old dial up connection?

I am trying to delete an old dial up connection that keeps populating. I am unable to use my new internet service provider due to the pop up question populating asking me if that is how I am getting on the internet. I called my provider and they told me I needed to delete that dial up connection but they were unfamilar as to how to do it due to me being with mozilla firefox and not internet explorer.

OMG! Thank you so much ... The tech Support group was making this seem like a huge problem and you just solved it in a second.. Thanks
I see that it didnt matter if I had Mozilla firefox or not. Thanks once again!

N95 - No Dial-up connectability?

Greetings
Here in technology starved Africa there are occasions when one cannot get to a WLAN to connect to the internet. I have just acquired an N95 8gig - so we are not that badly starved of technology after all, but have discovered, or cannot find, how to make a dial-up connection to my ISP.
I was using an 3230 before - simple to connect and send the odd email via my ISP using the cellular network.
Can anyone help?

Not sure if I understood your question right but don't you have access settings entered into your 3230 and then you can dig those up from the phone data connection settings and then insert the same settings to your N95?
(maybe I understand better if you explain in detail how you use the dial up in your 3230?)

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.

Flash for Dial-Up connections

I have a site which contains a flash video on each page. The
video is central to the whole concept of the site, so it's
important to maintain its size and clarity. My client insists the
site (meaning the video) must be capable of running on a dial-up
connection. At the moment it stutters too badly on dial-up. Is this
something that is do-able whilst still maintaining reasonable
quality? Or perhaps it is accepted in the industry that such a site
simply will not work on dial-up?
The current flv's run at 8 fps with a 200kps data rate. Size
320x240 video, not incuding controller. I could probably reduce it
to 6fps (at 150kps data rate) which would be a bit choppy and lower
quality, but mostly it's talking heads, so perhaps I can get away
with it. Question is whether that would be enough to make it
workable on dial-up. Is there any other option? (I don't want to
reduce the size of 320x240)
The site address is
designerperfect.com.
I would appreciate your input if you have any constructive
comments on the dial up question.
Thanks, Tam.

I wouldn't make my site based on the 56k user unless that is
your target audience, and if it is then kill the flv files. Not too
many 56k users want to sit for 5 minutes to see a crappy 30 second
video (quality not content).
You should re-encode those videos to play at a better rate
for broadband users, and maybe add extra buttons for dial-up users.
This way you have 2 flv's of the same movie, encoded at different
rates. If someone clicks on the 56k version, they get the choppy
low res junk file. Buffer it longer to make it play smoother. If
they click on the broadband video link they get the nice, smooth,
clean and clear video that doesn't distract from the design.

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.

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".
