My dial up connection keeps disconnecting!!!

hi... my dial up spends a while to even connect!!! most of the time it will just say that it does not detect a dial tone... but ive checked with other computers on the same line and its no problem... i even checked with the internet provider... please help!!!

Hi,
This may require a bit of hunting on your part, as you are on OS 10.2 and I am on 10.4. What you want to do is find the System Preference Pane that has the Modem info. On mine, it is: Network > Internal Modem > PPP > PPP Options. Here I find 'Session Options'with a check box to "Disconnect if idle for XX minutes". Un-check it. If you can find a setting like this, this may be your answer. I know it caught me in the first day or so. Failing that, SCOUR this Discussion Board, as I know I have seen other solutions -- it's just I can't remember where. Good luck.

5230 3g connection keeps disconnecting

I have bought the Nokie 5230 and have a 3g Internet connection supporting more than 7.2 mbps. I am able to connect fine after providing the access point details but the connection keeps disconnecting randomly. There is no pattern to this.
I tried KB925681 and installed the Hotfix. Even tried some other steps mentioned in some websites which told me to reset the adapter settings and change the properties from Device manager. However none has been succesful.
I use the Ovi app to connect my laptop to internet through the same connection. The same problem exists even while connecting from the computer.
Please help

Bump!
Got the same problem on a windows 7 desktop...
any solutions? thoughts?

Wireless connection keeps disconnecting - Satellite C650 16U

Hi
My wireless connection keeps disconnecting frequently and I have to manually reconnect it. I don't think it is a router issue as this doesn't happen with other laptop that is used in my house. Any ideas why this is?
Thanks

Hi mate
I recommend checking the power saving settings in Win 7 power management.
There you can change (disable) the power saving for WLan card.
This helped in my case.

As I said; power management setting is the key you should also update the WLan driver!

My VPN connection keeps disconnecting

I have been having same issue , it disconnects during a download and have to keep restarting the connection. I am using PurVPN.

Branch Office DC Demand Dial VPN connection keeps failing

here is me issue
Our Branch Office DC is connected to Main Office DC with a Demand Dial Connection in RRAS Everything is connected fine for a little bit then its like the connection just gives out, it stays connected but i cannot ping the branch office DC with the local
IP from the Main Office or access any network shares on it. When this happens i have to disconnect the server at the remote office and wait for it to reconnect im currently baffled as there are no Error LOGS to help me along and there doesnt seem to be anything
that would be causing the issue for now until i get some answers as to what is going on i opened a command prompt on the DC here at the main office and i typed "ping 10.141.70.25 -t100" to monitor the connection more or less and when i see it timeout
i reconnect it, i also have the networking tab open in task manager to monitor the LAN and RAS (Dial-In) Interface the LAN doesnt seem too active but the RAS Interface does its got a constant network utilization of 0.28% and the Demand Dial interface
on the remote office DC has a Utilization of 0.38% (Server Just disconnected as i was typing this and the utilization on the VPN connections on both servers went through the roof) heres the troubleshooting i have tried so far
1. Rebooted both office DC`s at the same time
2. Rebooted the branch office DC alone (this helped a little because the connection is staying active longer without fail)
3. looked through all RRAS configuration on both servers to see if theres any mistakes by any other administrators (None Were Found)
4. Used wireshark to see if there was anything interfering or that would cause this to happen (Nothing found)
5. manually connected to the server in multiple ways like accessing network shares and remote management via MMC and manually making the servers replicate to see if any of that was causing issues and it wasnt
My thoughts: im starting to think it may be a switch or something causing the connection issue at the branch office because the main office has all new routers and switches and just recently got a 100.00MBPS connection but nothing was affected for a good
month so im not thinking it is the new connection or anything at the main office if theres something im overlooking here please let me know if some ipconfig /all results are needed i can provide them

Remote Desktop Connection keeps disconnecting

I have BT Hub 3 (recently upgraded to Broadband Unlimited at the end of Jan 2015).
Up until recently I was able to Remote Desktop into my work computer (via VPN tunnel) with no problems at all.
Around March 6th, I began to experience problems with the Remote Desktop Connect (RDP), in that it now makes an initial connection and then disconnects (typically within a few seconds, occasionally after a couple of minutes).
It will then cycle through a number of reconnection attempts, all with the same result, before it finally drops altogether with the message:
'The Remote Desktop Services Session has ended. Connection to the remote computer was lost, possibly to network connectivity problems'.
I have tried restoring both machines back to a date when i know the connection was working - no joy. I've also tried deleting an re-creating now VPN and RDP connections - no joy. I've researched online and tried various other things, but still have the same problem.
I've tried connecting using a laptop (via my wirelss connection) with the same result. My manager has RDP'd in from his home machines and has had no problem at all.
This leads me to consider whether the problem is with the router/BT Hub itself. I've tried the online diagnostic tools with no resolution to this problem.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

Oh well, I suppose that after more than 2 months of frustration with this issue, the BTCare Community is unable to help me.
I can be fairly sure that it's not my machine as it's also happened using a laptop, plus I've even reset my PC right back to its original factory state just to sure that nothing had become corrupted.
The network guys where I work have also looked at this and can find nothing at that end to cause this problem.
I've even borrowed another BT Hub and tried it through that - same problem.
So where does the answer lie? VPN issue? I've tried other VPN options - same problem. RDP problem? I've practically exhausted the list of suggested solutions that can be found by trawling the internet.
I even upgraded the broadband cable to replace the cheap old thing that has been working perfectly well in terms of broadband, again, to eliminate this as a possibility. Now I'm stumped.
To me, it looks like the problem lies between my router and the workplace network, i.e. a physical problem among the miles of lines connecting the two. Of course I don't want to shell out for a BT engineer to come out to investigate, so I thought that the combined wisdom of this community may have been able to help.
Sadly not.

Re: Satellite M50-216 - WLan connection keeps disconnecting

Model M50-216
I can connect to my hub no problem, and as a comparison I have another Laptop (dell) that never eperiences the problems I get with the Equium. Here's what happens.
I connect no problem, then it may work fine for 5 mins or an hour, then it disconnects, I can still see the network and it will happliiy connect up again. I have tried at my friends house with a different router and the probelm remains, so its not a router problem.
From a configuration viewpoint, I have windows managing the network connection.... ANY IDEAS??

Did you try to update the WLan driver and the BIOS?
In many cases this is the key to solve such WLan dropping issues.

Connection keep disconnecting and reconnecting itself

Few days ago I installed arch on this laptop (HP Pavilion 15-b129el Sleekbook), I started installing and configuring stuff on it today and I encountered a couple of problems with the connection and xorg (which I won't discuss in this thread).
To make it short, launching wifi-menu will show correctly all the available networks, it won't, however, actually connect.
I tried netctl which successfully connected and gave me a chance to download and install programs, sadly the connection doesn't last long but it seem to reconnect by itself.
For instance, I was updating with pacman -Syu now and as it was downloading the package linux3.10.6-2-X86_64 it kept disconnecting to reconnect after a bit and restart downloading the package from where it stopped.
I decided to test if my laptop had hardware problem and booted into my xubuntu partition, I launched a ping command and it seem to be stable, sometimes it takes a bit longer than it should to receive new signal but it don't seem to lose connection at all.
Suggestions?
Last edited by arkindal (2013-08-14 10:53:14)

Update: Today wifi-menu managed to connect with a similar behaviour of netctl, connection works fine for a while, then doesn't work, then work again, tested with the ping command, I'd say a bit over a hundred pings works fine, then it stop for a while saying network unreachable, then working fine again.
Changed title to fit better the situation.

Idle RDP connections keep disconnecting?

My Windows Server 2012 R2 remote desktop users keep being disconnected from idle sessions. They get "Your Remote Desktop Services session ended because the remote computer didn't receive any input from you."
Can anyone tell me why? I've change the GPO settings at "Computer Configuration\Polices\Admin Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits" both for the computer and user level but I still
get this. For example I've even set "Set Time Limit for active but idle Remote desktop services sessions" to Enabled with the limit of "Never".
Does anyone know how do I stop this from happening?

Hi,
Thank you for your post in Windows Server Forum.
Please check that you have also applied setting under Collection properties, session tab For Idle Session limit. I checked in my environment with 1 minute and able to disconnect idle session and then applying “Never” then it’s never ending the RDS session.
For your reference, you can check the registry setting. When you will apply any group policy for idle session you can see the changes in registry.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Connection keeps disconnecting randomly on WRT54GS

I have a WRT54GS router using AT&T DSL. My computer (Vista 64-bit) has a Linksys WUSB600N wireless adapter.
Recently, I've been disconnecting randomly from my router. Once I've disconnected, I have to restart the computer because I can't see my router under the "connect to a network" option. I've just tried changing the channel from 6 to 1, but it still didn't work. I reinstalled my adapter's driver, but it still occurs.
My sister's laptop and iPod Touch have no problems with disconnecting. I don't know what else to try. It's hard to get any work done.

Have you downloaded the drivers for the wireless network adapter from the Linksys website and tried to update the drivers on your computer and then install the drivers on your computer and then try to connect to your wireless network.

Wireless Connection Keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

I recently got a new router to replace my old one (which had the same issue) and it frequently disconnects randomly for a couple seconds then reconnects again. This seems to only happen to anyone using wireless connections and not when its connected with an Ethernet cable. I've even changed the router channel and the problem still persists and its not near anything the could disrupt the signal so I don't understand.

With the same issue on 2 routers, it's probably not a defective router. But it could be the settings. As Matt suggested check your security settings and the wireless mode. If all of your devices are "n" use performance mode. Otherwise use compatibility mode.
Inssider (available for free at the following link) will show you other devices and enable you to pick the best channel.
http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
Is the problem is on multiple devices or just one? If it's only one the issue could be the wireless card.
Since it is a wireless problem think about distance and obstruction. They will reduce signal strength and could cause intermittent problems. Try testing close to the router and see if the same problem occurs. Router positioning can improve signal quality. Don't overlook little things. Example: many users stand the router up. I found that I get better reception with it laying on it's side. And one of my laptops has a significant change in performance by rotating it 90degrees. The kind of problem you are having may need some trial and error research to solve.

Wireless connection keeps disconnecting

I have a macbook OSX etc...i'm on a BT wireless home hub...it was working fine till about 2 weeks ago..now the connection lasts for maybe 5 mins if I'm lucky before it disconnects and I have to enter my password etc...very annoying...
is it my mac or is it BT?
thanks,
C23

Coles Cross,
Thought you may have been boosting a WiFi signal with the router. With you plugging into the router yours would be closer to the router so you wouldn't be having the problems I'm having. What I can't understand is that I'm on one of he first Intel iMacs and the web browsing is fine. The new MacBook, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I can run network diagnostics and it says I have the connection but, the browser just sits there or takes forever to load. I usually just give up on it. I go back to my iMac and all works fine. If you or anyone would know what the difference could be, I'd appreciate it.
Oh, I have ran repair permissions program and all seems fine except each time it will have about 10 lines that all say the same thing about an iChat icon not being what it expected. Don't know if that's anything to do with it or not.
This is what is says each time:
Repairing permissions for “McBook”

BROADBAND CONNECTION KEEPS DROPPING WHEN UPLOADING PHOTOS TO MS SKYDRIVE

when i attempt to upload photos to MS skydrive in Firefox, my broadband connection keeps disconnecting and reconnecting all the time. However if I try and upload photos via IE8, i have no such issues.
Any explanations for this bizarre behaviour?
Thanks

Morning
Thanks all so much for the replies :
If you are streaming content then I would recommend using an ethernet connection between your hub and PC as wireless is subject to to many forms of external interference"
Ethernet cable? I am not sure what one is, I think this is how I was connecting when I was with Talk Talk. Is it where you connect to the BT phone socket with a little white box thingy? Please let me know. To be honest, I thought the whole point of the setup I have now was the newest technology which did away with that sort of connection. Can you please let me know how I can try this. With thanks again for YOUR reply.
I think I have latest version of Adobe Flash Player I removed my existing version last week and uploaded newest version. Please tell me which one I should be using. Please also let me know if I need anything other programme that would help.
Keith - I haven't tried an ethernet cable as I've said above.
Please please more help. Would it be possible to speak to one of you guys on the phone OR a TECH person in the UK - I'm sure they could help me with the problem because they could guide me through what I have to do. It must be a UK call centre (please) - I almost go into a nervous breakdown when I have to speak to your help centres in Asia. With very many thanks.

Galaxy Note Edge Wifi Connection keeps dropping off

My wifi connections keeps disconnecting even after many attempts to login and getting connected on my home wifi it disconnects within a few seconds. Checked my modem and router and all is good (up to date firmware) and no connection issues on other devices. I verified my Edge is up to date as well. I am at a loss as to why it keeps auto disconnecting from my wifi. I tested tethering to my other cell phone and it stayed connected to it. So where do I go from here?

Cesmenow,
Thanks for reaching out to us. We can assist you. To confirm, this is only happening on your home wi-fi connection or do you also experience it with all wi-fi's?
We can try a couple of troubleshooting steps to resolve this: First, try resetting the app preferences by going to Settings>General>Application manager>Applications then press Settings>Reset app preferences. Tell us if this helps.
If not, then please run your device in Safe Mode - http://tinyurl.com/oo54noe and try again. This turns off all 3rd party apps. Tell us if it helps.
Thank you,

Dial-up connection disconnects when importing CDs into iTunes

When importing a CD, my dial-up Internet connection disconnects after each song has finished importing. The importing doesn't seem to be affected, but I keep having to reconnect. This is very annoying!
Has anyone else had this problem, and how can I fix it?

This is also a known phenomenon on Macs with a dial-up connection.
For Macs there is a workaround, but no solution yet.
By using an Applescript, the firewall settings will be toggled on CD insert, preventing iTunes to contact Gracenote (to get track information).
I don't know something similar for Windows.
Maybe you can write some code yourself.
The URL to block (temporary) is "http://service.gracenote.com"
You can always get the track information later by selecting all tracks of an imported CD and choosing 'Get CD Track Names' from the Advanced menu in iTunes.
