Modem dialin problem

Hi,
Hope you can help me with this, Im stuck.
I have a 2500 router with several external modems (US Robotics 56k) connected over asynch cables. the line config is setup to autocommand telnet to a backend server.
When I attempt to dial in, whichever modem answers, it seems to pick up the call, but then it drops almost immediately. The router log shows the same debug message each time:
Jun 18 14:40:20.691: tty1: Modem: HANGUP->IDLE

Hi,
On a similar occassion wherein I was trying to get Aux Port configured for Remote Dialin (for exec access and not for data) I tried almost 4 USR modems and everytime all the modems would get stuck at the handshake and never be able to complete the process.
However when I changed the modem to a simple make and model, it did work!
I guess its a problem with USR, have you ever tried with some other brand?
Kind Regards,

Extremely slow internet... MAC's or modem's problem?!

My Macbook is only 1 week old, so I'm an absolute beginner at dealing with macs, please help! Thank you very much for reading
I have two houses, one with Verizon Fio modem (almost 1yr old), one with Verizon DSL (4-5yrs old), both with Linksys G Routers. The mac connects perfectly with Fio, yet when I go to my other house with DSL, everything went downhill.
When I first turn on the modem and the router, internet works fine for about 10 seconds, then it gradually slows down until I can no longer access internet. However, my family's Vistas and XP work just fine. I looked for solutions online, tried adding new DNS servers, tried turning off IPv6, nothing worked.
I called an Apple Expert, who told me to plug the modem directly into the mac. I turned off the modem + router, turned them on again, and connected the modem and the router to the mac, one at a time. At first my internet went back to normal speed, but after a while it slowed down again. I don't think connecting anything directly to the mac helped, the speed probably went back to normal just because I restarted the modem and the router.
According to the apple expert, the DSL has "gotten used to recognizing" the PCs, so when a new mac comes in, it cannot respond as well to it. He told me to call Verizon to get a new modem.
My dad is a computer programmer, and was quite doubtful of what apple told us. Over the past 5 years, the DSL has connected to 5-6 old and new PCs, but did not have any problems with them. If the modem really cannot respond well to new computers, then mine and my dad's 1 yr-old Vistas shouldn't work well with it, right? But they work perfectly fine.
Right now I have no idea what the problem is. It doesn't seem like the mac has any problem, because it connects well with other networks (as with the Fio). It doesn't seem like it's the modem's problem neither, because it connects fine with other old and new PCs.
I'm about to contact Verizon, but I'm very reluctant to get a new modem, especially when I'm not even sure if that's where the problem is...
Please help...THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You were told pure hogwash by that "expert." Whoever it was knows nothing about computers. "Getting used to" indeed. Only in the movies.

Your dad is smarter than that "expert"
Over the past 5 years, the DSL has connected to 5-6 old and new PCs, but did not have any problems with them. If the modem really cannot respond well to new computers, then mine and my dad's 1 yr-old Vistas shouldn't work well with it, right? But they work perfectly fine.
The issue you have is typical - XP, Tiger etc all connect OK but Leopard does not. The usual fix is to update the router firmware. You say the router is 4-5 years old. I suspect that is the problem. You have to find out how to update the firmware. My old Verizon DSL router had the same issues until I updated the firmware, back when I first installed Leopard. It was a Westell modem and I needed to use my PC to update the firmware.
Check with your DSL ISP or go to the website of the modem/router manufacturer and get the instructions and download and install the firmware update. If this does not solve your problem, it will eliminate the main culprit. It's also possible that the router is simply too old, period.

6230i no modem found problem

When I try to connect to the internet through my mobile and DKU-5 cable it comes up 'no modem found'. When I go to Device manager it says the modem has a problem. Updating the driver just delivers an error message 'there was a problem installing this hardware...'
The annoying thing is it worked fine until I got an autmoatic update for the software. Since then I have had to sort the 'no available connection type' problem (solved with pc suite cleaner).
Anyone with any ideas how to solve the no modem found problem would be much appreciated.

Dialin Problem

I'm having a problem with PPP dropping connection. I have Solaris8 - (Intel) Everything is going fine then all of a sudden I get this "process_ipd_msg: interface ipdptp0 reports an error " message in the logs and it drops the line and reconnects. (I've included part of the log below)
This problem has been giving me problems for days. I've tried everything I can think of... Anyone have any ideas what is going on here or how I can fix it? How do I find where this "reports an error" is coming from? (ie what the error is)
Any help please.
Thanks,
Michael

The lack of /dev/cua etc is worrying - apparently there is an ACPI
bug with certain BIOSes which means certain device nodes are not created (often floppy, printer, serial). Turning off ACPI in the BIOS if this option exists on your HW, followed by a reconfiguration boot (b -r) should help. When you have the device nodes in place, the guidance from Stokeley should work - you might also check the

N95 modem connection problem

Hi everybody, I was wondering if there's anybody that can help me with my problem with my N95....I tried to use my N95 as a modem and connected it to my laptop to acces the internet via USB Cable, installed the latest PC Suite ver. 6.86.
The installation and everything else were fine, I'm with T-Mobile USA and I have T-Zone package...launched PC Suite and hit "Connect to the Internet" button, at first it didn't connect successfully but after I changed the settings manually it successfully connected (I used wap.voicestream.com for the access point and leaving everything else blank) BUT when I tried to open Internet Explorer I get this error message:
HTTP ERROR: $CODE$
$MESSAGE$
RequestURI=/
Don't know what it means and how to fix it, I even created a new connection manually and it connected successfully but everytime I tried to open Internet explorer or goto any website I get that error...I'm using Windows XP SP2....I really need to get this to work as I'll be needing internet access while on the road...thanks in advance!

Hi,
the autogenerated modem has the setting
at+cgdcont=,,"internet"
the string you mentioned seems to be wrong, probably the "ip" must be before the "internet"... changing the string does not give any changes in the behaviour - still 234 bytes received...
but then I changed the "internet" to "internet.t-d1.de" (because I am a customer of T-Mobile in Germany) -> and everything works fine!!!

2811 modem disconnecting problem

The E1 is up and I can dialout but the calls drop after 24-30 secs.
I have issued the debug modem csm and the following output is shown.

What stands out is the following line 'modem not found due to wrong b channel number or b channel is deallocated'
I have attached the full config and in it I have configured the time-slots 1-12,16 This is because the organisation does not have the full E1 but only first 12 channels 16 is the d channel.
Any assistance would be much appreciated
Thanks

Hello folks,
I have found the problem.It seems that the software being used on the server to dial out to the remote devices required a modem initialisation string.
We tested dialing out with a normal windows dialup connection and this work perfectly.

Modem script problem (I think!)

I am having a problem connecting to the Internet using an Apple modem. I upgraded to 10.4, after finding out the modem would not work with 10.3, and now there is a problem. When I attempt to connect, there are the usual 'noises', but then everything freezes and the noise changes somewhat. After a short period of time (about 3 or 4 minutes), the freeze quits and the attempt to connect continues, but is never successful. However, and this is the weirdest part, sometimes it does connect and works just fine! Unfortunately this only occurs about once in a great many tries. I checked the Console logs and they indicate that there is a problem with the script.
I am completely stumped - can anyone help out with some possible solutions?

Is there any one Who have a solution for this problem, when connecting to the second modem my Time capsule is not working.
I need help to solve this problem, I want to use the Time capsule at home as well as at office.

This will be next to impossible.. the TC will need a full factory reset to work in your home setup.. It simply remembers too much of the office setup to work in the home. The TC is not made to be transported.. it is a network router.
If you want to use it purely as a backup.. then I recommend you use an apple router like airport extreme at both your work and home location.. then you can use the TC as a simple plug in device.. bridged with no other functionality. It is very expensive though for this job.. an external USB drive plugged into your computer will be faster, cheaper and more reliable.

Huawei E160 O2 modem connection problems

I have struggled for months with the connectivity on O2 pay as you go with an E160 Huawei modem using O2's mobile partner software. This morning I appear to have solved the problem.
Don't use the rubbish O2 software. Go to system prefs then network. Select the modem then enter the following:
Telephone number: *99#
Account name: o2bb
Password: password
Goto advanced.
Select vendor - generic
Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)
APN: m-bb.o2.co.uk
Click apply then ok and then connect, and it should work fine.

Great howto dude. Please pass this along to other Mac users around your parts and maybe let O2 know this work around for 10.6..

AOL v92 Modem Connection Problem

Just got my mother a 15" Titianium 500Mhz (remember the 500? great machine even today) for use at home, typing work stuff and doodling on the internet. Problem is, went to connect to aol (I know, ugh) and it wouldn't connect. It kept coming back with strange errors: modem doesn't support v92, and unable to configure modem. Both of the errors were generated by the aol app.
The computer is running an up-to-date version of 10.4.5.
Any thoughts on:
1) technical issue
2) dial-up alternatives to aol.
She lives, as mothers are want, in a place without digital cable, and the local dsl rates are ruinous.
Thanks in advance
PBG4 Titanium 15" 500Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.5) aol 10.3

Modem-Router problem

I have installed a USRobotics 9108 router cabled per ethernet, and have 2 problems:
-sometimes internet connection get lost, even with all router's lights on (now with pram reset, permission repaired and wifi disabled it works...): how can I assure a stable connection?
- impossible to connect my HP 749 printer via router's print server: suggestions?
thanks

you can try this :
1)check the ip add on the computer when connected to the 2wire modem
2)if the ip add is 192.168.1.x , then connect the computer to the router's port#1
3)access the setup page of the wrt300n using http://192.168.1.1 . the default password is admin
4)change the local ip add to 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP server in it ..
let me know if this works for you ..

KT4V MS-6712 Modem Install Problem

Hi everyone,
I've just got a KT4V(MS-6712) board and finally got it to work with the 2400XP and 2xPC700 256mb RAM. (It woudn't take a 512mb stick).
My problem is I cannot install my v92 or v90 modem. When I go through the usual procedure in the Hardware Wizard, I get an "Error occurred" message at the very end of the installation in the wizard.
I've tried the modems in another motherboard using the same procedure of installation and everything works fine. I've also installed a TV card in the PCI slot to see if there was a problem with the slots, but it installed ok.
Could some please guide me in the right direction? I'm I missing somthing here, a BIOS setting or something? Could it be a serial conflict?
Thanks in advance, mrnickyp

Thank you to all who helped me through these strange issues. I found out what the issue was. These are the steps: (this is off another newsgroup)
This applies to any type of PCI card eg ethernet cards, modems, etc
etc. and XP and Windows 2000.
PROBLEM: After installing new card in a PCI slot, get "invalid data"
error message and the drivers refuse to install. The card is
correctly identified by the system and the drivers found are MS
certified. Not sure why this happens, but at a guess, this problem
seems to occur when installing XP or W2K and many PCI slots are still
unused. XP and W2K for some dumb reason then appear to "protect" these
unused PCI slots by making them "READ ONLY" in the registry.
SOLUTION: After mucking around for many hours trying to reset bios
settings for PCI cards, trying to re-install XP etc, finally came
accross the solution. Thanks to MarkS whoever he is for finding this.
STEP 1 - Start, Run... and type "regedt32" without the quotes to run
the Registry Editor. (Regedit wont work!)
STEP 2 - Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\PCI
STEP 3 - you will see a number of keys of the form "VEN_xxxx", where
xxxx are
strings like "1102&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00011103&REV_04". Under each of
these
folders will be another folder with a long numerical name. Open each
long numerical name folder and look in RHS window for the "DeviceDesc"
which matches the hardware you are trying to install.
STEP 4 - Once you have found the right one for your problem device,
navigate back up to the VENxxx level for that device, Right Click on
the "VEN_xxxx" for that device and select 'Permissions'. You should
notice that the permissions are set to READ ONLY. Then tick "Allow"
for "Full Control".
STEP 5 - Close Regedit and then continue with the installation of your
device, ie go back to Control Panel, Add new hardware and preferable
use the wizard to try and detect the hardware again, or do it manually
and use your driver disk.
STEP 6 - The PCI hardware should install now with no problems.
After downloading the latest drivers and installing that, the sound card worked successfully. Oh, and lynux, I believe you are correct, the pci input device was for the firewire.
This worked for me, now I just need to ensure that the USB bracket works. (any more ideas?)
-> addition: USB works. Tried it and everything was detected right away...
again... thanks so much for everyone's help.

Westell versalink 327w modem wireless problem

I just set up the modem for wifi to connect my ipod touch I just bought. I got it connected but the internet went VERY slow on the ipod. As I was trying it out, I noticed the wifi connection strength go from 1 to 3 bars randomly. Eventually it just kicked me off and I had no wifi! I went into the settings modem settings, and it stated wifi was offline, when in fact it is set to be online! This makes no sense. So i've come to the conclusion that the modem itself is to blame. Randomly loosing signal strength and losing can only be from the modems end since the ipod is brand new. So my next question is, what steps do i have to take to get verizon to send me a new modem since this one seems to have faulty wifi service?

If you want to, you could..
#1 Go get a RJ-45 WAN port router.
#2 Then put the 327w into bridge mode.
The directions for that were found following this path
a) http://start.verizon.net/
b) Support
c) Internet
d) Home Networking
e) Connecting a third party router to your network.

Two WRT54GL off HughesSatellite Modem: sudden problems!

Greetings, I have been running - very successfully - a dual router setup off a HughesNet satellite system (standard plan, no static address) to operate distinct wireless networks in my business. All thanks to the generous, patient, and irreplaceable assistance of Forum advisers here and elsewhere! The whole thing has worked EXTREMELY WELL for over one year! Basic (cascading/piggybank router connection) setup: HughesSatellite doing DHCP on 192.168.0.* subnet >> WANport ROUTER 1 LANPort >>> WANPort Router 2 Router1 (Stock WRT54GL Off HughesNetModem) is set as "AutoConfigDHCP" . Local LAN IP: 192.168.2.250. Delivers IP addresses to wireless users (Wireless Network No 1) on 192.168.2.10 to 192.168.2.50. WPA encryptionned. Router2 (Stock WRT54GL Off Router1) is set to "Static IP" and affixed 192.168.2.245 as WAN IP (i.e. on same subnet as Router1). Local LAN IP: 192.168.3.245. Delivers IP addresses to wireless users (Wireless Network No 2) on 192.168.3.10 to 192.168.3.50. WPA encryptionned. Excellent thing: fair amount of independence between the two networks. namely, traffic on Wireless Network 2 is "invisible" to Wireless Network 1 (that's what I needed!) SUDDENLY, 2 mornings ago (!): A. OK, Router2 (Off Router1 below) and corresponding Wireless Network 2 still works OK. Router blinking at all times, etc... B. BUT Router1 (Off HughesSat Modem to WAN port on the Router1) totally unpredictable and basically not delivering Wireless Network 1 traffic reliably, as follows: 1. I use NetStumbler (Win) and iStumbler (Mac) on my dual OS MacBookPro. I can sometimes SEE that Router 1 does seem to produce WiFi signal (especially if I am really close to the Router), with same strength as before according to xxStumbler. 2. BUT, PCs or MACs trying to connect to it usually DO NOT DETECT the signal, nor do they receive DHCP IPs from Router 1. In fact, they mostly NOT even detect the Wireless network 1 SSID (which is set at "Enable Broadcasting SSID" of course) among their perceived selection of available Wireless Networks. So, the WiFi signal is "there", but "not seen" or received (no IPs assignment). Meanwhile Router 1 does not do much "blinking". 3. EVEN if wireless PCs or MACs occasionally detect Wireless Network 1, they do not connect to it, or if they momentarily do, they quickly drop it. I'll leave it at that for now: i have tried to replace Router 1 with a fresh, brand new WRT54GL which I keep as a backup! To no avail. I have disconnected Router 2 from Router 1 (the one with the problematic Wireless Network 1). No improvement. Something new with HughesNet??? OR??? I hope this is all fairly clear! Thanks for reading this and perhaps any suggestion or help! - Roger T

Thanks a lot for your reply, forsaken. Also, what's your opinion on the following: I have tried to change channels re: router 1 and it seems that I have improved things by moving to another channel. Can Channel assignments be a top of the list concern re: wireless routers. We have a few other wireless operations nearby (as per iStumbler/Netstumbler). I wish I could sent you a screenprint of my Stumbler readings for you to guauge! I had my routers on Ch 1 and 11. I see a few other WiFi networks around at Ch 5 6 8. I just put my Router 1 on Ch 4 and things are considerably better... Go figure! - Roger T
