Unable to achieve dial-up connection with G4 Powerbook

I have a G4 PowerBook that I use with a Netgear wi-fi router for Broadband and my server, Virgin. I want to use the PowerBook with just a dial-up connection to another server, BT. I turn off Airport. I have spent a long while with the BT helpline. I do all the settings they suggest. Then I finally press, Connect. I read: "connecting to server". Then it obviously fails and says Disconnecting. Disconnnecting continues ad infinitum and can only be terminated by doing a Restart. What am I doing wrong, please?

Sharing a Vista Dial up connection with a Mac wire wirless connection

I have a problem i would like to share the internet connection from my wifes PC (dial up connection) with my mac book pro via wireless connection between each computer. Now it works ok (after fiddling with firewall on PC) when we have the dial up connection on the mac and use the wireless from the PC to access the internet the same time. but it does not work the other way. I tried to allow sharing on both the dial up or wireless, I have not found the same option which we have in the mac to tell the wireless connection which internet connection is to be shared. Is there any easy way to do it or must i pay a wireless router to access the dial up connection.

i guess you should try
String cmd = "c:\windows\dialup.exe";
String envp [] = null; //environment variable
Runtime.exec(cmd, envp);

Why am I getting an error "Unable to establish a secure connection with (mail server)"? And what can I do?

I'm trying to set up email on my Firefox OS Flame (OS is Boot2Gecko 2.0.0.0-prerelease) and getting an error:
Unable to establish a secure connection with mail.velociraptor.info
I'm on Dreamhost, the certificate belongs to `*.dreamhost.com` but I'm not even sure this is a certificate error, and if it is, how I'd go about fixing it. I found the Certificate Manger, but I don't know how to download the certificate and add it, and I don't know if this is even the problem.

If this is a self-signed certificate or one where the CA is not trusted on FFOS, you will get this error.
There is currently no proper user interface for adding certificates. You could have a look at the method described at this page: http://www.pending.io/add-cacert-root-certificate-to-firefox-os/
There are also several bugs open regarding this problem, e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=874346. They have additional information that could help you to find out, if this is the problem you are seeing.

I'm suddenly unable to join my Airport network with my PowerBook G4. I am able to access my network with all of my other devices. How can I once again establish access using my PowerBook G4.

Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
Bruce's instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
- delete any previously set up printers
- scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
- remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
- reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
- print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
- got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
- go to the sys pref > print scan
- add the HP 8000 printer
- click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
- click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
- finish (this page may freeze up. close the browser)
- go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
- go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). Check that the SSID is your network
- go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
- try printing something to your printer. It might take a little time the first print.

Dial Up Connection With My Recon HP7800 Windows 7 Using An Internal 5600K Modem

Just purchased a refurbed HP7800 with Windows 7. They installed an internal 5600K modem but it will not connect to the Internet using AOL as my connection.
I'm not real savy about this newer technology but the modem doesn't seem to be operating.

Installing and set-up a dial up connection with an USB modem

Hello.
I moved recently to London, and due to some kind of critical lack of financial sustainability, I cannot afford to pay monthly a decent Internet connection. However I have a phone line on my house so I was thinking on using a USB 56k modem to connect via dial-up to Internet (my laptop don't have any integrated modem or PCMCIA port). But I honestly don' t know if that will work (all references googling send me to setting up a 3g modem, which is not the case)
What should I do? It will work fine? I remember vagely using ppp-on years ago, and editing some files... But I recknon I wont use anymore tty0 or tty1 if it is a USB device (I am using a custom kernel, so after going for work I' ll do a make menuconfig to check driver aviability). And just for curiosity... It will have dial-up tone? If I have to go nostalgic I' d rather experience the full thing.
Thanks in advance

http://www.freeukisp.co.uk/about-dial-u … access.htm
It is the first result googling "free dial up uk", but there is quite a bunch out of there. I only need to look and choose. In Spain at least, I didn't had to pay (just the call rate, wich was free for local calls, so yep, free)
I use the temrinal, and when in X, fvwm95, so I assume wvdial is for me.
Thanks for the quick answers

Firefox is unable to establish a complete connection with Facebook game apps while using the tethering method between PC and Android

Although there is no problem loading the page, there seems to be a problem with the save feature. I can go in the game and perform my tasks but when I exit and return it is as if I was never there. In the bottom left hand corner of my monitor I notice that the site is continually trying to connect, verify, read profile, transfer assets, connect, verify...it is like a continuous loop. Is there a setting I need to adjust to allow access?

Unable to call, reach and connect with Customer Service

How come every time I call *611 or 18009220204 from my cell phone. It directs me to the *611 app. Then at the very bottom of the app, it says "call customer service" then I'm directed to enter my billing pin. Then it just cycles after I enter it back to the *611 app. Why am I unable to call customer service any more?? Very very frustrating. This app definitely has a glitch obviously and I need to speak with someone.

yes i can make calls to everyone..except verizon. i have the samsung droid charge. what is this new *611 app all about. i'm not interested in even having to view it, just so i can scroll all the way down to call customer service and ask to enter my pin..time consuming. and even more frustrating that i still can't speak to anyone.

IBook G3 and dial-up connection with OS Tiger

Hi: I have an iBook G3, 700mhz, 640 RAM, 20g HD, and have been running OS9. I´m now switching to OSX (Tiger 10.4.6). At my base location I have access to a high-speed connection, but quite frequently I must go places where there is only dial-up available. Will I still be able to connect via dial-up when I switch over to OSX and, if so, how do I configure the connection settings, etc.?
Thanks for your help and comments.

Yes... In OS 10.x you can connect via the internal modem.eithernet ,or airport.
Apple Menu->system preferences->network -> Show (drop down menu) -> select internal modem check box.

Sprint Treo 650 connection with Apple Powerbook G4 867 MHz runing 10.4.6 ??

I am trying to use my Sprint Treo 650 as a modem with the Apple Powerbook laptop running the latest version of Tiger.
The old Treo 600 worked just fine using the laptop with 10.3.7.
But the old 600 died and I was forced to purchase a 650.
The Treo 650 manual says its possible to use the Treo 650 as a modem. The Apple manual says its possible to use a mobile phone as a modem.
I have actually gotten to the point where, after inserting "passords" like 654379 on my Treo after they were issued by the Apple. I've been told:
"Congratulations, you are connected"
They lie to me.
I've read about "hacks" for the TREO and the need to install special scripts. The instructions go for 26 written pages.
Is there not an easier way? These are the kind of things that make me not even want to visit the Apple Store ever again.
And I love my Apples!
Thanks for letting me vent.
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Don't know if it makes a difference (I don't think it does), but I have no problem connecting Treo 650 (Sprint Vision service) to my MBP 10.4.6 as a wireless modem. Make sure that you have the latest firmware on Treo 650 that enables DUN (Dial Up Network) on BT pref.
I just simply used the OSX BT setup, making sure that my 650 is discoverable and with a code (paired) for security. It is also using 650 serial port as RS232 port.
Connecting to 650 is done through Network connection on system Pref or via Airport menu. Under BT, configure as Other, the number to dail is #777 with account name and password to your Sprint Vision account (not your Sprint main account login or pw). It should be something like [email protected] for account name and corresponding password for that.
I think this is all you need to do. Did not use any hacks (in fact I completely stay away from Hacks - I have simple needs and want to keep things simple).
You'll have to probably try few times to get it all right and connect but it should not be too bad.
Hope this helps
Good luck....

Cannot get Mail using a shared connection with a PowerBook

This is one of them problems with lots of potential causes, but I have to start asking somewhere.
I am in a temporary work location. There is no wireless access available, but there is an available copper connection.
I plug my trusty old G4 Titanium PowerBook into the ethernet and configure it to share the connection thru its AirPort Card to my iPad (original)
I can get to web sites with iPad Safari, so that says that the connection is working, but the iPad Mail app cannot connect to anything. It sits and spins and then says "The mail server "mail.whatever.org" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info into Mail settings."
I know the Mail info is correct because it will connect and operate with no problem when I am at home, connecting to my own AirPort network.
Any ideas or suggestions ?

The available ethernet is an open DHCP network, so I just set the Network/Ethernet to DHCP and everything there just works.
Next I went to Sharing/Internet Sharing. I set the "Share your connection" control to "Ethernet" and in the "To computers using" control, I selected "AirPort".
In AirPort Options, I gave the network a name, set Channel to Auto, enabled WEP with a 40-bit key and set a password.

Sharing wireless connection with another powerbook g4...

i've got airport expressed configured with my g4 and it works fine.
however, my chum with another g4 clicks the name from the pull down window, enters the password (the one that Is the right one because it's in my keychain), and yet gets a wrong password error message.
any clues why?
thanks and happy holidays...

What type of wireless encryption is the AirPort Express (AX) configured to use?
What OS is his G4 running?
Does his G4 have an original AirPort card or an AirPort Extreme card?

Dial-up modem with an iMac

I am running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on an iMac (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM).
I have had a DSL connection since purchasing this computer, but when I moved my current phone line is only rated for 768 Kbps download speed, which is dial-up speed. My internet provider has finally gotten the phone company to admit to this and has recommended I downgrade to dial-up since I am in fact operating at a maximum of 610Kbps anyhow.
They would provide me with an external modem which would connect to the computer using a telephone line with phone-style plug on the modem side and a USB2 at the computer, a specialty product they state that Apple would sell me. Currently, I use an Ethernet line from the DSL modem to the computer.
My question is: Can my iMac even use a dial-up connection with an external modem? If so, does Apple in fact sell such a specialty line or does the connection have to be made through an Ethernet line due to hardware/software constraints?
There is no wireless or satellite option where I live due to building interference. The building itself is wired for cable, which I do not care to have. I am willing to simply downgrade to the lowest speed DSL if dial-up is not possible with my iMac.
Thanks for information relevant to making my decision.

@Lanny, you are correct; the maximum speed of 768k was cited by a support tech and may refer to the phone line's native capacity due to distance. I have decided to downgrade to the lowest DSL option available to me (1.5 Mbps instead of 3.0 Mbps) and retain the capability of having simultaneous phone and internet access, which is not available with dial-up. My maximum download speed at my current location hovers around 600K.
The source of the difficulty, I suspect, is that the phone company is converting to optical fibers from copper fibers and is pushing their own "blazingly fast" internet product based on fiber optics, rather than DSL with its expensive paired copper lines. I don't know if the phone company has an additional a means of limiting transmission speeds to thwart their competition, although if I can conceive of this possibility, someone else smarter than me had probably figured out a way to accomplish this 5-10 years ago. My ISP is gradually building their own fiber optic network to gain independence from the dominant telephone line owner.
Thanks for your reply. It confirmed my intuition to stick with DSL but at the lowest available speed option.
