A. When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port, verify that the port assigned to your modem matches the COM port assigned to the Serial Port on the Port Replicator. To check this: Go to Device Manager and check the COM port that is assigned to Serial on USB (COMx) under the heading Ports(COM&LPT), where "x" is the COM port assignment. Device Manager can be reached by right-clicking on My Computer and choosing Properties.

It really depends on your Cable service provider. We have found that some service providers block port connections (to prevent you from using peer-to-peer software and games). Tell them that you want ports 5400-5409 opened. Otherwise, your options are to find a friend that will host your world, change your service provider, or host your world on a monthly subscription basis from SafeWorlds.com (coming soon).

There are several methods for computer connection, but it appears that Ethernet 10BaseT is emerging as the most predominant method. Although it probably would be cheaper to produce the cable modem as an internal card for the computer, this would require different printed-circuit cards for different kinds of computers, and additionally would make the demarcation between cable network and the subscriber's computer too fuzzy.

Yes, as long as your ISP allows multiple IPs per customer, either by the use of a DHCP server or specific IP number leases.

Allways start with a complete power cycle or two and reboot the computer. Your computer might be broken, breaking, or glitching.

Check that the cable is connected between the modem and the telephone socket. There may be 2 ports for it to be connected to use the line port not the phone port. If necessary unplug it, then reconnect it. If you are connecting from your business telephone line you may need to dial a number to get an external line (usually 9).

Comporium recommends that customers not utilize a cable splitter to share their cable connection between a cable modem and cable TV. Cable splitters lower the overall signal power being delivered to the cable modem, which will affect its performance..

The modem can be used on any PC or Laptop (that meets the minimum requirements) and it is portable. However the internet connection cannot be shared. The 3G Broadband Router will be more suitable for this use as the Internet connection can be shared.

Previously, we suggested that people use Mac modem cables; however, it has come to our attention that there is no one standard Mac modem cable. Since correct modem operation on a NeXT depends upon a correctly wired modem cable, buying a Mac cable is not a good idea. Some Mac cables do not allow dial-in and no Mac cable allows the use of hardware flow control. For these reasons, we are recommending that only cables that meet NeXT specifications be used.

This error is caused by a setting in your FTP client, that limits the amount of time your FTP client will wait for a server to respond. In order to fix this problem, increase the "server timeout" setting; a setting of 180 seconds should be enough time to connect to the archive.org servers. If you use SmartFTP, the "server timeout" setting can be found in Tools > Settings > Connections.

Yes. If you close the VPN Client window (the red bullet), the connection will disconnect, but you can minimize it (the yellow bullet) and keep the connection alive.

When I try to change a password in Cpanel, I get an error saying open2: exec of /usr/local/cpanel/bin/securechpass failed at Cpanel/Passwd.pm line 32

No. All programs require broadband (fast DSL or Cable Modem) access. Video streams carry a lot of data.

For a standard V.90 modem, the modem/phone cable should go from the Line jack (labelled with "Line" or a jack symbol) on the back of the computer to the telephone jack on the wall. Make sure the modem/phone cable is not plugged into the Phone jack (labelled with "Phone" or a telephone symbol) on the back of the computer. Note: You will briefly see a 'communicating with modem' message. If the modem is working properly, detailed information about the modem will appear.

Nothing But Net's terminal server will drop your connection only for excess idle time. There is nothing about the Internet that will cause modem disconnects. But any number of problems can occur between your modem and ours. Modem brands are not entirely 100% compatible. A modem initialization string that works well for connecting your modem to a USR, for instance, may not work for establishing a problem-free connection to a Hayes.

No. Lightning DSL is based on very specific hardware. You cannot install any modem to be used with your service.

The Qwest® Internet Help site provides assistance with all aspects of your Qwest Broadband service not involving Windows Live, such as your broadband connection and modem.

Regional Bell Operating Companies are sometimes tariffed and will only allow (with perfect telephone line conditions) 53K. Tariffs are established by the FCC and by state Public Utility Commissions. Because analog lines are a little noisy (static), your modem will automatically slow down to accommodate for noise. It is normal for 56K modems to connect between 39 - 51K. This is still very good performance.

You cannot connect directly to an IP using a phone line. There is a way, however, by using the internet. Connect to the internet through your ISP(cannot be AOL), then once connected you can start the client up and put in the IP address of your Watchdog. [FAQID No: 138]

This is a common question because many things can cause this. First off, it is important to remember that while 56K is the theoretical limit a modem can connect on a normal analog phone line, NO modem ever connects at 56K. About the best a modem could ever achieve is 53K and a modem that connects at 40K or better in most cases is doing pretty well. Causes of slower connection speeds include: Unconditioned or poor quality phone lines.

First, the highest connection the FCC allows over standard phone lines is 53.3k. This is the fastest connect rate you can get. If your are connecting in the 40k-50k range, this is considered good for most dial up connections. If you connect at a rate less than you would like, your modems 56k protocol may not be compatible with ours. We support the fastest and most common protocols across most of our network, 56k Flex, v.90 and v.92. You can attempt to update your modem drivers.

The modem's USB connection is not supported by Windows 98. If you are using Windows 98 you will need to connect an ethernet card to your PC.

Yes, there are many manufacturers that offer broadband "routers" that are capable of allowing more than one computer to share a single internet connection and Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP all have an Internet connection sharing feature built in that can be used with your Suburban Broadband service. Your computers need to be connected to each other with category 5 cabling or a wireless networking (WiFi / 802.11) router.

Yes. Modest amount of remote dial-in access is available free of charge to members of the Whitman community through Whitman's pool of thirty-two 33.6kbps modems. To connect to modem, you must first request a remote access account via a web-based request form at https://secureserver.whitman.edu/dialin/. To ensure fair access to this limited resource, remote connections are limited to 4 hours per session and a maximum of 8 hours per day.

With the standard plan, you can only connect one computer to the modem. See the terms and conditions page for information and costs to setup a proxy server.

Check to see if the phone line is connected correctly to your system. Make sure it is connected to the LINE jack of the modem. Go into the Device Manager and remove all items listed under "Modems". To remove an item in Windows XP and Windows 2000, select the item, click the Action menu, choose Uninstall. To remove an item in Windows 98 and Windows ME, select the item and click Remove. If the installation asks you for the drivers point the installation to drivers.

Please check that your ISP supports 56K modems and that you are using the correct service. Using the wrong service will result in the modem not being able to connect above 33.6Kbps. The other possible reason is that your phone line is connected to an old PSTN (Public Switch Telephone Network) which is unable to handle 56K speeds.
