I am using my cell phone as a dial up modem. As I move around my house, my laptop loses reception from my wireless router, so I connect to the internet with my cell phone as a modem. However, when both are connected, I have to disconnect my dial up connection because when both wi-fi and dial up connected, the internet is only as fast as the dial up.

My club is too cheap to get DSL and is using dial up and just got a computer running Vista. There are a couple of user at the club who need to be able just to run a program that does a file transfer. The problem is that I haven’t been able to get the dial up connection to fire with anything besides Firefox or IE. How do I make Vista do the dialup when I run one of the file transfer programs. I’ve tried ping, nslookup, etc. I suppose that I could make it dial by running IE and putting in a delay, but that is QUITE inelegant. Can you do better?
I actually have the “dial when a connection is needed” option already set. It often dials for IE, but not always and rarely, if ever, dials for SFTP or for any of the other file transfer programs. This is something that is specific to Vista (and rather annoying at that).
hi friends i would like 2 know if there is a program out there in the big bad internet ….that automatically dials an dial-up connection..when provided with proper user name and password at particular given time…….in win98 (need it badly….plz help)

This is not a problem with my computer, but a problem with a computer of my supervisor at work. Her computer was working fine, until one day, when her computer suddenly proclaimed an error 797, which, according to the error description, was due to the ‘modem being busy or not found’. She does not know what caused this, and whenever she tries to connect (she has a dial-up connection), the modem does not try to dial — it immediately throws that error. Looking at her computer, I noted that her modem did not appear in the Device Manager, and also that something called a ‘PCI Communications Controller’ had a question mark beside it — indicative of an error with the associated drive. We have tried to reinstall the modem (with the Creative CD that she had), but the reinstallation does not seem to have work. We were wondering if anyone had any other suggestions, because she is desperately in need of checking her e-mail. Thanks. =)

Thanks for the help, guys. But I forgot to mention — this is an internal modem. And we have tried to install the driver with the CD given us (from ‘Creative’), but for some reason, the driver doesn’t seem to have been installed — for one thing, the modem does not appear in the Device Manager before *or* after. Nor does it appear in the Phone and Modem Options.
Thanks again. =)
