| 398714 | 2005-10-24 08:41:00 | Not quite sure if I understand the problem but I have dial ups for Quicksilver and Paradise on computeers in Wellington and Dunedin with no problems. If the Dunedin computer is logged on I get an error message "name or password incrrect". Your problem could be Xtra | MACIAN (6176) | ||
| 398715 | 2005-10-24 08:50:00 | Agree with GF you must be using the wrong number or have pulse instead of tone selected. Make sure also you do not have dialing rules or use area code /dialing properties selected in the connection. In W98 and ME you have to untick this as it is set by default. What OS is this anyway. It is a bit confusing as if you were dialing an incorrect number you should not be getting the handshaking noise as it should not be getting that far if the number is incorrect and you should only hear the modem dialing. It sounds like whatever you are doing wrong you are doing the same on both computers. |

| 398716 | 2005-10-24 09:01:00 | Yo! I just tried connecting with their details and succeeded. Using the number I've used before minus the first 0. (As posted by godfather) I always used 0087 303030. (because that was in their dial-up connection details box )But losing the first 0 it works, (On my comp at home.) Cuss and Oath. Can't believe it could be that clumsy an error, I'l get in touch w my friends in the BOI and suggest it. Computer Wisdom 001 : It doesn't work until you'ver done it five times. (or maybe six in some cases,) |

(or maybe six in some cases,) Good lesson there. When describing a problem always give the relevant information. If you had said earlier it was error 676 it would have saved you a lot of time. This error is almost always due to using an incorrect number as it gives a line busy tone. Incidently you said you could hear the modem handshaking and I believe you were mistaken as if you dial an incorrect number, it does not connect to the ISP modems so it is not possible for them to start communicating which is the handshaking noise you normally hear. |

| 398719 | 2005-10-24 23:46:00 | The extra "0" was probably used by their workshop PC as it was behind a PABX, needing "0" to gain an outside line? | godfather (25) | ||
| 398720 | 2005-10-25 06:36:00 | No godfather, I'm pretty sure they've got two seperate lines coming in. But only "pretty sure", can't remember the last time I dialed out from the workshop. I"ll email them with this possibility. Thanks. |

| 398721 | 2005-10-28 20:20:00 | Fixed it. THanks very much for all the responses. Dropped the initial 0 and it works like a charm. Merry Xmas. ..........mark c |
