PBG4 v92 modem connect-disconnect

Don't usually have to use dial-up connections, but I needed one today. First time, it worked as usual.
But everytime after (2nd thru 6th attempts) the connect script would scroll in the header, and scroll, then go into an attempted disconnect, except it would never never never complete the disconnect. I'd have to reboot to terminate the endless disconnect ribbon.
The only issue I can think of was while trying to clean up Entourage (while being off-line), I got the spinning beach ball of death.
What could be the connection between Entourage 10.1.1 & 10.3.8 that would render the modem incapable of connecting-disconnecting properly??
I tried repairing permissions/priviledges, but there was nothing reported as needing fixing.
OK, go figure! I'm editing this post using the dial up & internal modem. Connected just fine. Guess I'll have to wait for another "odd-ball" incident.

Similar problems here, but my 'book dials, runs through the various sounds, then repeats them never making the final connection. This problem manifested about 4 months ago. At first, it began losing connections more frequently, then having difficulty making the initial connection on the first try, and now it won't connect at all. The error I get in the connection log window is : "Connection Script Failed." I never get the beach ball.
Solutions I've tried: Rebooting, rebuilding permissions, adjusting the modem script to connect at all available speeds (v.34, etc.), using modem scripts from 10.2.8, doing a clean install of 10.3.3. None have produced any results.
The phone lines in my area are not great. However, I was able to sucessfully connect on said lines for 2 years previously, so I doubt that's the issue. My wife connects, using the same cable on her PC laptop, with no problem.

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

NEED HELP! Modem keeps disconnecting w/K7T266 Pro & WinXP

My system:
K7T266 Pro
Athlon 1333MH
256Mb DDR 2100
MSI GeForce 2 MX, 32Mb
Zoom V.92 internal modem
SB Live! 5.1
2 x 80Gb Maxtor HD
LiteOn 16x12x40 CD-RW
USB mouse
340 W Enlight Power Supply
This system worked fine on the internet when I was running Win98. I upgraded to WinXP and now the modem keeps disconnecting shortly after connecting (but it always connects for a short period of time).
Here's what I have tried: Reloaded WinXP Home Edition on a newly formatted HD using a clean install (not an upgrade) and the NT file system. Loaded the latest MSI 4-in-1 drivers and upgraded Bios to latest version (v1.9). Reloaded all the software. Got all the latest XP drivers and WinXP updates. Have tried 4 different brands of modems, internal and external. Have tried modems in different PCI slots (currently using PCI slot 3 with SB in slot 4). Have tried modem on different Com ports (currently using Com 3). Have tried slowing down the com port speed. There is no IRQ sharing with the modem. Have tried different phone jacks and cords (the same ones that work fine on the older HP Win98 computer I am writing this on). Have tried 2 different ISPs (currently using CompuServe). Have reloaded the ISP software several times (trying different versions) and currently have their latest XP version - ISP says others are not having this problem with their software (have spent hours with their technical help with no resolution). Not using any ad blocker or anti-virus software (yet).
Nothing I have tried has made any difference so far. Am I missing something? I don't want to go back to Win98!
Oh ya, another minor annoyance: My system freezes after sitting idle for a while, even though the Windows power scheme is set to Always On and no screensaver. Otherwise, everything else works fine.

Hello everyone,
I was gone for a few days, but when I got home I was very happy to see some more posts to this thread!!
Last night I tried disabling the SoundBlaster (with the Windows System Device Manager). I disabled both the sound card and the game port. The modem was still disconnecting.
Until now I hadn't heard of Via chipsets and SoundBlasters not getting along well with each other either. I had, however, previously tried another sound card - it was an older Diamond Monster card I had, but I couldn't find a WinXP driver for it. It didn't work well at all with WinXP. So back to the SoundBlaster Live! 5.1.
I did find a cure for the other problem I mentioned. I noticed that the SoundBlaster and all 3 USB controllers were sharing IRQ 10. I removed the USB optical mouse and tried a PS2 ball mouse. That solved the problem where the system was freezing after sitting idle for a while. I sure liked the optical mouse better though. This same problem may have been related to another one I noticed. When playing audio CDs, sometimes the sound would stop momentarily and then go on again. I haven't yet had a chance to see if removing the USB mouse solved that problem as well. I have also noticed that the volume of audio CDs are controlled by the wave volume and not the CD volume. Is this normal? I have both the analog and digital cables connected and the CD digital setting enabled. It's very annoying, since turning the volume up on audio CDs causes the Windows wave sounds to blast me out when they play. I don't know how to set the SoundBlaster to use one of the other unused IRQs - can anyone tell me how to?
I haven't yet tried the PCI latency patches, because I wasn't too hopeful after seeing that it didn't work for Philipponnat.
Now for the Bios. I have always had my Primary Graphics Adapter setting on AGP. The onboard modem and audio settings have always been set to disabled. I was excited to see that Philipponnat found a cure for the modem disconnections with the PCI latency setting. When I went to my computer to do the same thing, I was disapointed to find that my Bios does not have a setting by that name, either in the PNP/PCI configuration or anywhere else. The only thing I found that looked related was one called "PCI Delay Transaction" in the Advanced Chipset Features section, but the only settings available are enabled or disabled. Mine was set to disabled, but I couldn't tell any difference when I set it to enabled. Maybe we have different boards - mine is version 1, but I have flashed the Bios to the latest version I found, v1.9.
I have noticed another strange thing in the Bios. The Bios no longer detects the power supply fan speed - it always reads zero RPM in Bios even though the lead is hooked up. The other fans show a reading. The power supply fan used to show a reading when I first put the computer together.
I also have S.M.A.R.T. enabled. I have 2 identical hard drives. They are Maxtor 80Gb 7200RPM ATA133 drives which are S.M.A.R.T. capable. Only the primary drive (master on the primary IDE) displays S.M.A.R.T values in SpeedFan. The other drive is set as a slave on the secondary IDE (my CD-R-RW is set as the master on the secondary IDE).
There have sure been a lot of wierd things about this motherboard. Thank you everyone for your input so far. Still need more help!!

Modem gets disconnected

I am using my nokia phone for getting Internet connection to my computer. As you know the phone acts as modem. The modem gets disconnected when the time reach 2 hours. It disconnects automatically when it is 2 hours. I had tried in different sim card and different settings etc but the result is same. I tried installing latest PC suite and nokia OVI suite but the result is same. The modem automatically disconnects when it is 2 hours. I can't find a way to extend the time limit. I called sim card support, but they are not able to get the exact reason. When the connection is established in the phone using wap, it stays long for more than 14 hours. But when it acts as modem it correctly disconnects when the time is 2 hours. Please help to to increase the time limit of modem connection. I am using windows 7 32 bit. My phone software is up to date and I had tried after restoring the phone to factory settings also. I want to know how to adjust the time limit of the modem to stay connected for long. How to change the time limit for modem connection in the computer?
Thank you.

My 5230 has almost the same problem, but is also a bit random, sometimes disconnecting within 5 minutes or may actually stay on for many hours of downloading inactivity then disconnect within 5 minutes of my basic interaction, whereas I would have to reclick on the Ovi Internet Connect button to regain access which does gets very annoying as it should only switch of if I either decide for it to or if I set it to switch off automatically. At least make it so that the OVI suite keeps trying to reconnect and a bit later on indicate that there was a loss of signal as it's still attempting to reconnect.
I have also tried all the updates as stated, except for having call sim card support. The phone itself doesn't seem to have any such conflicts. I was about to switch to a different mobile phone company entirely, but thought maybe there's a quick solution, especially when I need to give all types of life starting recommendations.
Windows XP + Mobilicity + 5230 + Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0
Please and Thank You

Quick way to connect/disconnect on the fly? cable broadband

Hi all, I might just be missing something obvious here?
I have several computers connected via a router to my cable modem and all is working fine
now on my Windows machine I can connect and disconnect on the fly very easily with a single click so that my computer can be offline when I need
however there doesn't seem to be a simple connect/disconnect "switch" on OSX Tiger? I am online constantly unless I dig right down in my network seetings, am I missing something here?
cheers, Robert

See when you are connected directly to an ethernet router, the router is providing a DHCP connection usually, meaning the only way to disconnect is to either power off the router, or disconnect the cable. If you were connected directly to the modem and the connection was PPPoE, Mac OS X does provide a menubar icon to connect and disconnect PPPoE connections. Also if you have a wireless router/Airport base station, there is a menubar icon you can put in for connecting and disconnecting your wireless connection. But for plain ethernet DHCP, I've not seen such a menubar icon. There may be options on http://www.versiontracker.com/ or http://www.macupdate.com/ I don't know about. You might want to search there or instead use your Mac wirelessly.

Arris TG862 Modem Keeps Disconnecting

Hello: I have a Comcast provided Arris TG862 modem for both voice and Internet. The modem is in bridged mode and connects to an Asus RT-AC68U wireless router via Port 1 on the Arris. I have been having issues where the modem will drop the signal and I need to power off the modem and disconnect the coaxial cable going into the modem for a few miuntes and the reconnect and repower. This seems to solve the problem for various amounts of time (1-2 days) and then I will have to go thru the routine again. Here are the readins from the Arris Status Page: Downstream

Maybe but not for me. I spent £120 on a modem so I can get faster speed as I used to have under 3MB, so don't want to just go back to have old speed.
It was stable for ages so don't know why this started to happen.
I've installed Routerstats but it don't seem to work with the Bipac 7800N as you can see by the picture it won't find the status only the firmware etc.

I have BT Infinity at home with the BT modem connected to the phone line and then to a BThub which delivers the wif signal. I have purchased an airport extreme to improve wi fi strength if how do I connect up to hub it states connect modem to WAN on back of Airport Extreme.
Instructions do not mention connection to BT Hub and the BT modem has only one output which you dicsonnect from Hub and connect to airport extreme leaving. Once you do this Hub has no signal.
How do I rectify
Paul

you can also set up the Airport extreme to extend the wireless by hitting the wireless tab in the airport menu then click the drop down menu to select extend
Apple's "extend" function is a proprietary setting that was designed to only work with other Apple routers.
It would be extremely unlikely that this setting would work with a BT product, or any other manufacturer's product for that matter.
But, I haven't tested this with a BT product...and I suppose anything is possible.
Still, I would be extremely surprised if this worked.
The AirPort Extreme might "join" the BT network if you try this......but the AirPort does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network. In fact, it really does nothing when it "joins" a network except enable the USB port.

IPod touch 4th gen stuck in connect/disconnect loop, will not charge on desktop PC, but is recognized fine by older laptop?

I have an iPod 4th gen that up until the week before was connecting and charging fine on my desktop computer (running Windows 7(64-bit)). Now, when connected to the USB ports on my desktop, it goes into this rapid and unending connect/disconnect loop, never staying connected long enough to even be recognized by the computer. There is an error message that also says that charging is not supported by the computer, when before, things were fine. Despite all the problems on the desktop, the iPod is recognized fine by my 5 year old laptop, which is running a simplified version Windows XP. Halp. I've tried everything on the iPod support pages regarding this issue, and would really like to avoid calling Apple about this. Any suggestions?

Try putting it is DFU mode:

How do I share a 3G USB modem connected to my Macbook Pro with my Airport Express?

Hi. I have a 3g USB modem connected to my macbook pro, and I want to try share the signal with my Airport Express (latest model).
Now before everybody screams that it can't be done, I was searching the forums and found a discussion in which someone describes how to do it from 2008, unfortunately it is archived and I couldn't ask the author directly, and the description doesn't go into much detail.
In the thread, the author describes turning internet sharing on to share the USB modem, creating a network on the macbook, then renaming the Airport Express network name the same as the macbook, and setting the AX to Join a Network.
Problem being there is no description of whether the macbook connected to the AX via ethernet or wifi, what settings were changed on the AX eg bridge mode.
Is this possible in theory, and has anybody had any success sharing a 3g USB modem via a macbook pro to an AX? I know there are other options like getting 3g ethernet modems, unfortunately not an option in this case - new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
Thanks

Well, you cannot use the 3G USB modem plugged directly into the Express. However, you can configure your MacBook Pro to do 'Internet sharing' (SysPrefs>Sharing) over the Ethernet port, and then connect your Express into the Ethernet port. Alternatively, you could always get your MacBook to 'create a wireless network'.

You could always look for open WiFi networks to *cough*borrow*cough* .

Wifi is not available where I come from. I have broadband connection where data transmission is through cell sites then to USB modem connected to a computer. The modem draws power from the computer. Will this setup work with the ipad?

iPad requires Wifi (or 3G /LTE) to connect to the Internet. You cannot connect a USB modem to the iPad.
You can create your own WiFi hotspot through your computer for your iPad to connect to, if your computer supports this functionality. All Wifi Macs and many Wifi PCs do. Check your computer manual for how to do it.

Applications move between spaces when connecting/disconnecting second display

During the day I'm constantly connecting/disconnecting/reconnecting my 2nd display to my Mac. When I do that a lot I see a few things happen:
- Applications move to different spaces
- One or two of my spaces dissappear
Has anyone come across this issue before and is there any solutions or options I can try out.
Many thanks!

I just ran a hardware test (on ML you must hold down Option-D so it can access the hardware test bits via the 'net) and the test completed without finding any issues. I wonder if the issue has to do with switching between the integrated and discreet graphics.

Bluetooth connection - Keeps connecting / disconnecting in car.

Hi,
I've recently got a Z2 phone and i love it all apart from when I get in my car.
It connects, disconnect, connects, disconnnect, and so on and so on for as long as Im driving.
I've done all I can think of.
Reset the phone, unpair the devices etc.
does anyone have any idea? is this a known issue?

I guess nobody has this issue?
The car is a 2014 Vauxhall Insignia
I've had the garage look into it but they have no problem getting other phones to connect to the vehicle, even my old Nokia 920 works fine.

Ipod just keeps connecting/disconnecting. any thoughts?

here's the story. my ipod died. i upgraded to itunes 7. still was not working, i go to apple and get a refurbished one. the new one keeps connecting/disconnecting. when i open my computer, it shows it just blinking like its there, then its not. does not show in itunes, but half the time says do not disconnect.
here's where it gets weird. the USB port runs other devices fine. i plugged my ipod into a friends PC and could put music on it. i plugged my friends ipod into my PC and it shows up fine. i've swapped the ipod USB cord with my friend and it still does the same thing. so its not the ipod, its not my comp. and its not my itunes. anyone even want to attempt? i'm at my wits end here.

Try forcing the iPod into Disk Mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
If you can successfully do that, it should keep the iPod mounted on your PC long enough for you to perform a restore of it via iTunes.

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.

hi Michelle!
where do I begin trying to find the culprit?
actually, i just remembered seeing somewhere (i've lost the thread, though) someone reporting a problem with their internet connection that went away after they updated their
b sound card drivers
(of all things).
so let's try working through this document on sound problems in itunes. let's try/check-on
b everything
there, and see if a sort of "audio spring clean" fixes both problems for you.
(thinking here that since neither of us know
b precisely
what's going on, this can at least provide us with a structured place to start our investigations.)
love, b
