Freetalk Connect Me - Suddenly Stopped Working

I have the Skype service with a FreeTalk Connect Me box that we use as our landline phone. This has been in service for around 6 months without a hiccup, until recently. About a week ago it out of the blue would not make nor receive any calls. When you try to dial out it I have a dial tone, you hear it enter the numbers, and it makes the little doot-doot-doot-da-doot-doot jingle (my apologies for trying to type that phonetically) but does not ring. When trying to call the number it may ring a time or two and then says in a British voice (paraphrasing) "the Skype subscriber you have called is not available" and sends it to Skype voicemail.
The light on the front of the box is blinking green as it is supposed to but nothing works. I have tried unplugging the box for an extended period of time but that has been my only attempt at diagnostic repair. I need this phone to be operational. Please help.
Thank you in advance,
Brian

When mine does that, a power cylce fixes it.  In your case, I would suggest power cycling your router as well.  The device is pretty much plug-n-play so you are limited in what you can do.  You can also try to reset the device to factory default by either:
1.  Browsing to the IP address of the unit.  You can get this off your router or by browsing your network places and double clicking the the Freetalk device icon.  
Once there, log on, then click "System Settings" - "Factory Reset" (located at the bottom of the page)
2.  Using the reset button on the unit itself.  Excerpt from the Freetalk website:  
"To initiate factory reset, use a paper clip to press and hold the reset button on the device for as long as it takes for the LED to go off, and keep on holding it until the LED turns red again, then release. When this is done, give the device some time to load the software. The LED will start flashing green indicating you can access the configuration interface again."
If done properly, you will have to complete the same Setup Wizard you ran when you first installed it.

  • FTP suddenly stopped working

    Today, all my FTP connections have suddenly stopped working. I thought it was a problem with FileZilla, but have since tried 4 or 5 different FTP clients and none of them will connect to anything. Sometimes the connection just times out, and other times it goes through all the authentication and login seemingly successfully before the message appears: 'Critical error: Could not connect to server'
    I'm using a 2011 MacBook Pro, upgraded to Yosemite about a month ago (and have been using FileZilla on a daily basis since), but otherwise I can think of no hardware or software updates that have been made.
    I've tried restarting my router and my computer. I've also checked the Mac firewall, which was already switched off. After googling the issue, I read that turning off 'passive mode' might fix it, but it doesn't.
    I haven't a clue how to go about fixing this problem!
    Any ideas? 

    Ask in the DW forum and be much more specific about the requirements for your FTP connection like its ports, TLS settings and so on.

    my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

    Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

  • Ethernet connection suddenly stopped working

    Hi!
    I have a 2012 non retina macbook pro. I've been using the ethernet connection in my college for a month now and yesterday it suddenly stopped working. I tried a different ethernet port and it still didn't seem to connect whereas other laptops connected perfectly. Under network preferences, it keeps showing that the cable is unplugged when it isn't. This just happened all of a sudden and I really can't figure out what's wrong.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • My I pad suddenly stopped working then i connect it to iTunes it make error 4014 can you help me please

    my I pad suddenly stopped working then i connect it to iTunes it make error 4014 can you help me please I pad 4

    If the phone shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, the data on the phone is most likely lost.
    Connecting in recovery mode is your only chance to use the phone again, besides getting it serviced by Apple.

  • Itunes has suddenly stops working when any player connected

    Itunes has always worked fine on my HP laptop running Vista. With no changes in configuration or software, Itunes has suddenly stopped working any time an Ipod, Nano, or Shuffle is attached. I have tried to reinstall all software, restart computer, checked devices for updates. Have also tried solutions published on Apple support page. Nothing works. Itunes starts and works fine until a device is connected, but then I get the message that the program has stopped working and needs to close. Occasionally the whole system crashes and I get a "blue screen" error.

  • My mac pro suddenly stops working (2011), connection to the monitor stops, but de tiny light on computer still on and all sound stops. what's the problem?

    my mac pro suddenly stops working (2011), connection to the monitor stops, but de tiny light on computer still on and all sound stops. what's the problem?

    When the display turns off, it is not clear whether the computer has halted, or whether the display subsystem has failed.
    Those tests determine whether:
    a) Your Mac software had stopped working  OR
    b) Only the display had stopped working
    If the pressing the Caps lock light on the keyboard lights the Caps Lock light on the keyboard, some software is still running -- your Mac has not halted.
    If pressing Control-Eject on the keyboard, followed by the Return key shuts down your Mac, the software was still running.
    ¿Software was still running?
    --Yes, the problem is ONLY in the display subsystem
    --No, this is a computer-wide problem such as a kernel panic

  • Access Connection Suddenly stopped working...

    Hello,
    Access Connection application version: 5.42
    Build: 6JC725WW
    I have a T400 with Win7 64 bit.  Everything has been working fine since new, juat about a month.  Today for no apparent reason the Access Connection application drops my wireless connection about 1 minute after I turn on the laptop.  It shows all green bars as it has since new and works just fine for about a minute then the screen blinks, goes black for a fraction of a second then comes back with the green bars all grfay and a red circle and line on top of the wireless icon.  The task bar as the bottom of the screen also turns light gray.
    The Access Connections application shows no available wireless networks where before there were at least a dozen from around my neighborhood. 
    Here's the strange part, about 3 minutes later after this happens the laptop screen blinks again, the light gray task bar turns back to normal and I get a wireless connection via "Windows Wireless Service".  The other strange thing is the connection name is the same as my location profile but with a "2" after it.  It was "Indy" and now in the OS  wireless configuration it shows the connection as "Indy 2".
    Anyone know what might be going on here? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figoure out why the Access Connection application has stopped working correctly.
    One other thing, the wireless connection is working as I'm submitting this post on the machine in question.  What's odd is when I do an FN F5 to turn the wireless "on" or "off" the window that appears clearly shows that the radio is "off".  Attempts to turn it on only close the window but doing an FN F5 again clearly shows it is still off.  How could it be off if I'm able to browse the internet and see my home network?
    There seems to be a problem with this ThinkVantage Access Connection application.  Can I uninstall it?  I'm not really a big fan of running software that "sort-of" works and it appears this app is buggy.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hi!
    Because the AP WAP200 are powered with POE, all clients may losts connection at the same time only for an electrical failure on the SF302 switch. Check your hardware and ensure that the power supply is working properly. Check also the connection cable to the power line and to the switch

  • Ethernet suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason

    My late 2011 MBP is usually functioning as a desktop with external display and keyboard/trackpad, so I have it connected via ethernet when it's on the desk.  However, my connection suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.......... BUT clearly not a router problem as there's no problem with the wifi connection.  System Preferences > Network > Ethernet is telling me:
    Status: Connected.  Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet.
    Dunno how this happened, as to my knowledge I didn't actually do anything to cause this problem, just randomly stopped working.  Any solutions much appreciated, thanks :-)

  • Mac HDMI to TV suddenly stops working

    10.9.4 mavericks macbook pro retina to TV via HDMI
    using an HDMI cable to watch movies on my laptop macbook pro retina.
    was working this morning, and watched a movie. then I go to work, and come back and now the exact setup is no longer working.
    it does not show any display in the preferences menus, and the TV is just blue without any input.
    cable is secure, nothing has changed. nothing.
    edit: actually I did pull the HDMI cable out while the two were connected this morning.
    tried restarting, reconnecting, nothing
    ... very frustrating, no idea why computers suddenly stop working for  no reason whatsoever. maybe someone hacked my computer this afternoon while I was gone? it's just a random failure.
    Any help?
