| 64393 | 2002-07-23 10:14:00 | Well I got myself a D-Link 560e the other day and it's great so far, apart from E3 being the ISP. Got it from Ascent (http://www.ascent.co.nz) for ~$150 to the door. |

| 64396 | 2002-07-23 12:06:00 | I agree that external modems are more reliable and efficient than internal PCI soft modems but they are in common use and operating reasonably well for most people and there is no reason why yours should not as well unless you are on a very bad rural connection. If you are sure you are actually connected with your modem and still getting no traffic here are some things to consider. Delete your Dialup connection and set up a new one as they can get corrupted. If you add some extra settings to the Extra Initialization settings box in your modem properties this could solve the problem by making the connection more stable. Anti-virus software has been known to cause this problem, especially those that have a firewall included. Try disabling antivirus to check it is not interfering. Another one I have seen is Enable software compression not ticked which has caused a no traffic problem even though it is enabled by default normally. Start/Connect to/ show all connections Right click on connection icon and select Properties Click on Networking and select Settings Make sure Enable LCP extensions and Enable software compression are both ticked. Another cause of no traffic can be caused by a program called NEWDOTNET It can be installed with out the users knowledge with various programs. More info here www.cexx.org |

| 64397 | 2002-07-23 12:29:00 | Thanks for replying..I was worried this topic had become changed too much and I wouldn't get anymore responses, so anyway.. It's not new.net, as my ad aware is up to date and i'm ad-free. also, i checked my add/remove programs to be sure, and it's not there. And yes, I'm sure I am connected. I haven't tried delete and reinstalling the connection..I did do that once before for something else, I don't know why I didn't think of that, so I'll try that. Software compression is enabled, but I haven't tried it with the antivirus shut down, problem with that is it only happens when it feels like it. And about the Extra Initialization settings although i cant find any box with that exact name, i've combed through the settings, and as far as i can see they're all good. But I guess I'll try with the reinstalling first and then go from there. Thanks again. -Nk. |

| 64398 | 2002-07-23 12:52:00 | For Win XP Start/ control panels/ phone and modem options Click on Modem tab and then Properties Click on Modem tab and change Max port speed to 38400 Click on Advanced In the Extra initialization commands box enter +MS=V34 Click OK and OK again Restart the computer This will slow the modem to 33k but it will confirm if it is improving your connection. If it works try increasing the speed with +MS=v90,,,,48000 Change the port speed to 57600 If it causes a problem at 48000 try 44000 or 40000 until you can get a reliable connection. |
