Several times today the 9600/200/G3/OS9.1 has tried connecting spontaneously while I have been typing my e-mails.
Redial is OFF in Remote Access (which has always been set to "connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications" withoput this problem occurring, so the setting is not the problem)
Redial ON means that if on the first try the modem can't connect it will either try an alternate phone number or retry the main number some number of times. It however has nothing to do with initiating dialing.
OK, I'll enable this., set to try only the main number (I have no alternative number anyway).
Odds are you have some program that is trying to connect. The following are some that could cause it.
Eudora set to check at intervals.
Disabled
Date and Time checking a time server.
Disabled
Personal Web Sharing on.
Not
Timbuktu with TCP/IP Incoming Access enabled.
Don't have
FileSharing IP option enabled.
Was enabled, but never tried to connect before disconnecting/reconnecting power. I have now disabled it.
One way to find it is to let it connect and then use MacTCP Watcher or IPNetMonitor to list the current connections. Any active services will be listed. It won't say what program is responsible but it will list the port number in use. Try it and post the results here and we can tell you software is likely the cause.
Thanks!
It tried to dial out as soon as the 9600 booted today. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin, New Zealand 64 (3) 473-8863 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fossil preparator Seashell, Macintosh & VW/Toyota van nut
