Internet modem hangups

My internet modem continually hangs up. After a year and 3 times in the shop, plus modem being replaced, as well as MLB and Ram, and software reinstalled, it is still doing this. A new phone line was put in. An Apple Consultant said it could be caused by a weird electrical problem in the area. I need help!
tiger Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Any rhythm to it? How long does it usually go? Have
you tried the other Drivers like v34, or v92?
Are you aware of the settings to make the Modem hang
up after such & such time of non-use?
Yes, I know about the settings to make the modem hang up after a certain time of non use.
It just hangs up when it wants to; sometimes it will be over a minute when trying to open mail, sometimes less; even safari does not always open in a certain length of time, so I know what is going to happen - modem problems again. I'm not computer savy,so don't know anything about other drivers. I will, however, do some checking into that. My computer was bought at COMPUSA and they are the ones who have been trying to solve the problem. One thing that the Apple Consultant did was loan me a Belkin Battery backup/surge protector, which really helped. I just can't see that something like that should be used to solve a problem with a brand new computer.

Modem hangup

I have seen that the PowerBook uses a modem Jump driver Motorola SM56K.
I have several time with my Internet connection "modem hangup" using simple telephone line after 15 min. On the web it is said that this driver induce several times hangup on PC and it exists update driver for PC but not for Mac.
Is there anybody who has the same problem and solve it?
Is this problem coming form the software (driver) or the hardware (modem) ?
Is there a known update ?

I had a similar issue. Fortunately, I had two different ways to connect, where one (network-manager) was working fine, and the other one (pon) showed this problem. So I could compare all relevant settings...
I discovered, the message '...buffering packet 1981 (expecting 1978, lost or reordered)' is no problem, and happens on stable connenctions as well.
The real problem started with this line in /var/log/daemon.log:
Mar 15 11:13:11 XXXX pptp[6438]: anon warn[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:331]: short read (-1): Message too long
I realized, the problem was due to a too large MTU size for ppp0 (was 1456). I changed it to 1400, and everything was fine.
# ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1400

How to connect my USB internet modem to iPad2?

hi,
I am looking for way to connect my USB internet modem stick to iPad2; I understand one way is to get a pocket Internet hub and thru that I can connect via WiFi.
But is there any way that we can directly connect the USB modem to iPad and use it?

A 3G wireless router may do the job. I have used that years ago.

I am having problems reestablishing my Time Capsule. I had to get a new internet modem and that seemed to screw up my Time Capsule. The amber light keeps blinking and it's not being picked up when my Macbook scans or when my PC scans for the wireless ne

I can't find my Time Capsule on my networks anymore. It's like it doesn't exist. We got hit by a storm and that might have caused our internet modem from ATT to fry. I replaced the modem today but now my Time Capsule isnt working. It's blinking amber. The PC its connected to through the ATT modem isn't finding it as it scans and its not in utilities. My MacBook isn't finding the time capsule either when it scans. Whenever I hooked up all the wires to the time capsule and the modem, the internet stops working. I've tried resetting the time capsule but it's still blinking. I had all my computer equipment on a power surge protector. A pretty good one. All my other equipment is fine. The ATT modem was old, so I thought it might not have even been the lightening. Nothing else in home was injured by storm. I am freaking out and need help!!! I can't use my MACbook to do my internet work and all my files were backed up on the time capsule.
Another problem. My Time Machine isn't backing up now either. What is up with that?
I would be soooo grateful if someone can help me! Thanks a million!

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Which one can I use properly to monitor all the wireless Devices in my hous

Actually, none of the options will do what you are looking for it to do. That is because, this application only monitors the traffic from the device it is hosted on. That would also mean that you would have to run a copy on each computer that will access the Internet on your network; note their individual usages, and then, combine them to get an idea of the total usage.
However, if you are only interested in the amount of Wi-Fi traffic that only your computer is seeing, then the "AirPort Network Card" option would be the correct choice.

Setting up Router E1200 on a computer that does not have an internet modem

I just bought a E1200 router and can not install the software because I do not have an internet modem. (I get my internet connection from ICS on my host computer -not the computer that I'm setting the modem up on.) Is there any way of setting up this router without using the easy button method? That is skipping the connect to the modem part?

Can one connect the Time Caspule to the iPhone to act as a network internet modem?
Sorry, but no. The Time Capsule needs a wired Ethernet broadband connection to be able to provide an Internet connection for connected devices. Check with your cellular provider to see if they have an adapter that might do what you want. Something like this...for example:

Connecting to internet modem

Hello,
I have my DSL modem connected to the "Internet" port of my UC320. I sometimes, more often than I like to actually, need to connect to the modem to restart update passwords etc.
If am connected to the UC320 I can not reach the IP address of the internet modem. How can I fix this to be able to reach its web interface?

You can't.... Well, you can, but not THROUGH the UC.
You could put a switch on the line leading to the UC WAN side fRom the modem, but you will still have to connect to that with your computer to access the modem.

Bluetooth Internet Modem (BT PAN)

Hi,
I have a HTC Touch Dual (T-Mobile/MDA Touch Plus) in the UK and have Web&Walk all set up on it. However much I've tried, search for answer, I still cannot use the phone for bluetooth pan/internet modem on my brand new macbook. (I was able to do it on my iBook, different phone) It was supposed to be easy, just connect internet sharing and it would work, but it's never that simple.
I can connect the two through Windows Mobile 6.1's internet sharing and bluetooth (but only for sharing files). I also have MissingSync if that makes any difference.
I have downloaded Ross Barkman's modem script for Windows Mobiles, (GSM 3.6M) and a application for Bluetooth DUN. Without the bluetooth dun app, when I set up the HTC with my mac will not 'see' the phone's dial up network, I've heard WM6 developers removed bluetooth pan drivers thus the need for app. Don't know why ones pan ones dun.
It automatically sets up it's own modem in network preferences which offers 'configuration, telephone number, account name and password'. I have also tried to configure similar settings through Bluetooth Pan, Bluetooth and PPPoE.
In network preferences menu:
Several forums use T-Mobile Internet as name, (hash)99* as telephone number, 'guest' as user name and password.
This did not work. I also tried 'general.t-mobile.uk' as the telephone number and 'user', 'wap' as the user name and password respectively.
I also unchecked all the relevant boxes in advanced menu and changed the settings to use Ross's script.
I have also opened new port in the bluetooth phone and edited the serial port in bluetooth settings to show the modem.
But however I try it will not connect to the internet through the phone (turning off airport doesn't help) I always get messages such as 'no carrier detected. Please check phone line connection and try again.'
It could be my mac, it could be the app, the wrong script but it's just not working. I have a hunch it's the settings (either user name, password or telephone number).
It would be better if I could try another Pan application to see thats the problem, but I cannot find any others to download.
I've tried to be as specific as possible, anyone who has this phone on T-mobile (in the UK), has connected the mac to the internet through it and would like to compare settings would be a lifesaver.
Cheers Ben

I was looking for exact the other way for connection, so I tapped into this Thread. I got a HTC Diamond (from O2 Germany) and got the direction you are looking for pretty easily up and working.
Here is what I did for that direction (Internet sharing using HTC Diamond as modem):
1. Build the partnership between the HTC and the Mac (10.5)
2. In the Bluetooth Icon (on the Top bar of MacOSX) you should see your device
3. There should be at least two items shown if you mouse-select this device. One should be "Connect with Network" (or something similar - in German - Mit Netzwerk verbinden)
4. This shows that your PDA (HTC) provides Bluetooth-PAN as Service
5. On the PDA look in your Programs. I have an applicaiton called "Internet Sharing"
6. In this Application I select "Bluetooth-PAN" as PC-Connection and select my Connection Profile (depends on your provider)
7. Press on the "Connect" at the lower left corner
8. Select "Connect with Network" on your Mac in the Bluetooth-Icon in the Menu-Bar under your device
You should now see on your PDA in the Internet-Sharing Application that the connection is established.
Maybe that this helps (even when I'm pretty late here).
Cheers
Jochen

You can share your "cellular data" with the computer and other devices through "personal hotspot". You may use USB cable, Bluetooth or Wifi for sharing.
Reverse tethering (sharing internet connection of your computer with iPhone) is not supported.
Call your carrier and activate the cellular data/3G plan on your package. Note that "personal hotspot/internet tethering" is operator dependent feature. Confirm with your carrier or go through this article to see if your carrier is listed and offers this service.

CS-15 and Nokia Internet Modem takes 15-30 minutes...

I'm using Windows Vista (all latest updates installed), and a CS-15 USB modem with DNA in Finland. I have managed to get the product working, but when I reboot the computer on restart the CS-15 red LED sits there blinking for up to half an hour, and wellphone2.exe takes about 50% of CPU. Eventually, if you wait long enought, a dialog appears asking for the SIM card PIN, and then the DNA Nokia Internet Modem software window appears and I can connect.
I installed the update at http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/internet-stick-cs-15-support/software for CS-15_R2.10.2 but there was no request to update CS-15 firmware, the DNA logo was replaced with a Nokia logo on the desktop shortcut, and now the PIN request is no longer made (even after 30 minutes) so the CS-15 sits there just blinking red
Any ideas what is wrong, and how to correct it?.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Further investigation reveals that sporadic (once every 2 to 3 days) crashes of my laptop are due to Nokia Internet Modem. Exiting the software causes the crashes to go away, and re-enabling it means the crashes return after a couple of days. The crashes only occur when the CS-15 isn't plugged into the laptop.
I've been able to test this because I leave the CS-15 at the cottage, so it is only used at the weekend, but the Nokia Internet Modem software continues to run in the system tray during the week.
I have ordered a WiFi access point which claims to support the CS-15, and when it arrives I will uninstall Nokia Internet Modem from my PC. I'll report here once the access point arrives if this solution works.
