Getting "Internet Connect Could not open the communication device"

I am getting a pop up showing "Internet Connect - Could not open the communication device."
Why is this? I have never got it before and after awhile my internet works just fine. I am trying to understand why it's popping up. The wireless networks I connect to are always working fine but my computer is just now giving me this pop up.
Please help. Thank you.

you could try moving either file one at a time, don't delete them though
if moving the files and restarting does not fix the problem you can always put them back to the original location, it's just settings files
possibly you'd need to setup your network prefernces again
also, in System Preferences, click on Accounts pane, then your user name (you may need a password for that)
on the right side of the Accounts window there is "Login Items" tab, see if anything shows up in login items
as a guess, machine tries to connect by looking for your cell phone to use as a modem or something
maybe check Network preference pane, see what shows up in Bluetooth

"Could Not Open the Communication Device" ???

I use a dial up connection. Everytime I try to connect to the internet, after it dials a message box pops up that says "Could Not Open the Communication Device". Has anyone else had this problem? And how do I fix it?
Please help me.

I found this in Mac Help:
If you haven't entered your network settings, open Network preferences, choose your modem port (internal or external) from the Show pop-up menu, and enter the settings provided by your ISP, such as the access phone number, your user name, and your password.
You can also use the Network Setup Assistant to help you enter network settings. Click "Assist me" in the Network pane of System Preferences and follow the onscreen instructions.
Also verify that the number you are dialing is correct.
Try this too.
Some ISPs may require a PPP connection terminal script to connect to the Internet using a modem. If it is required, contact your ISP for the terminal script
To use a PPP connection terminal script follow these steps:
In the Finder, navigate to the Library folder on your startup disk.
If the Library folder does not contain a Terminal Scripts folder, you will need to create it. Choose File menu > New Folder, and name the new folder "Terminal Scripts."
Copy the terminal script file from your ISP to the Terminal Scripts folder.
To activate the terminal script, choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
Click Network and choose your modem port (internal or external) from the Show pop-up menu.
Select the PPP tab and click the PPP Options button.
Choose your connection script from the Terminal Script pop-up.
Click OK and then click Apply Now.
If the Terminal Script pop-up menu is dimmed, then the script is not being recognized. Check that the script is valid, and it is installed in the correct location.

Supressing the "Could not open the communication device" message

Hello,
Lately whenever I connect to the internet, an Internet Connect window pops up with the message "Could not open the communication device." The connection, however, is fine, and I have no problems accessing the internet.
I've been clicking "OK" to this message several times whenever I connect to the internet but it's become tedious and I'd like to supress it. Can anyone help me?
20" Intel Core 2 Duo iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10) I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL to connect wirelessly.

Check to see what is checked ON in Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, and drag the one used for Internet to the top of the list at least.
I think there must be another one checked ON and above the one that actually connects... dunno for sure yet though.

My IPad2 will not connect to the internet, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." My AirPort utility shows that I am connected. What could be the problem?

My iPad2 will not connect to the internet, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I've run the AirPort utility and it shows that I'm connected to my Wi-Fi. The connection works with both my iMac and iPhone. I'm concerned that the problem is with hardware rather than software.

Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

I am having the same issue. Its says that the server has stopped running. THis has gone on for three days straight. First time it fixed it by powering down the unit, the next time it worked resetting the network settings. Now its happened again and these two options do not work either. What do I do or what could be wrong??

Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding can anyone help me please

Hi ..
Restart your router then try Safari.
If that doesn't help, reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Why do I sometimes get "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" with WiFi but not cellular?

When my iPad is connected to the internet via WiFi I can pretty much browse without problems. However, there are certain instances where a web page is requested and I get, after a bit of time passes, “Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding”. Repeated attempts to access these web pages via WiFi connection always yield the same results. However, if I turn off WiFi I can access the same pages almost instatntly via cellular connection. Any suggestions?

What is the URL which won't open?
