I'm updating my wifes laptop to 10.3.9 to see if that makes any
difference.
She is currently using 10.3.2, the modem is the standard apple used on
the iBook 700.
I can't attach a screen dump of the TCP/IP settings because WAMUG only
excepts text and I don't know the modem string?
Thanks again!

Hi Guys,
My wife needs to connect to her server to get email etc. via a dial up
account. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't
it gives the message "A modem error occurred please verify your
settings and try again". I rang the techo guy at the server and asked
what I should do and he said to change the modem setting from (v.92)
to
(v.90). So I did that. I connected a few times and then gave me the
same error message. It connected a few times on v.92 as well.
The DNS settings just come on automatically which I have been told is
correct.
Any ideas?
Hi Chris thanks for the compliment , but really I am not Psychic .
Need lot's more information :
What Macintosh
What OS
What Modem
What TCP/ IP settings .. Screen dump would be good if sent direct
What Modem Initialisation string
What ISP
Any other settings that I should change and try? The techo
guy said that Macs are hard to adjust
Sounds like you got the usual dummy . The educated Techies know what
Macs are like .
That's the usual response when it's all too hard.
I had a Windows ISP at one stage who had multiple servers and big
problems with dial up.
It was a particular server problem and had something to do with
software timing between
the servers . It's years ago now . They kept saying it was my end.
Funny thing, everything worked fine when I moved to another ISP
Bob
(which really pissed me off)
because I know that you can do anything on a mac. So I'm assuming he
just doesn't know about macs.
Thanks in advance!
