My pal has a PC which uses dial-up to connect to the net.It was working fine until a few weeks ago.Now the modem(PCI) can be heard dialing out but it never connects.I tried connecting my laptop to his phone line using his Internet settings and I instantly got connected.
Then we tried connecting his PC to the net using a CDMA cellphone via the PC’s USB port.This way also the PC could connect to the net.
I reinstalled the modem but it still doesn’t connect.I have also tried Netsock fixes for XP(he uses WINXP).
Any suggestions???

I have tried installing both linksys and also Dynex notebook cards following the instructions completely, but I can’t get either to install. I have a wireless router (linksys). After all my attempted tries at installation, I keep getting a message that I am not connected to the device. I got the laptop at a yard sale, and it originally came with a smartkey but the seller did not know the password anymore. So in order to use the computer at all I had to install a brand new xp program, to bypass not having the code for the original smartkey. Is this why I may be having problems with connecting? The previous owner had no trouble connecting to the internet, but I cannot because it won’t recognize any modem. Any ideas how I can get around this. I travel for months at a time and need to have some kind of connection to a modem, either for WIFI or for phone dialup. I am at wits end. Any thoughts?

I have 2 laptops one old its Compaq Presario model:1201EA I use dialup connection and same times I use 3com 10l100 LAN pc card but it does not work sometimes… im traveling for emergency “my friends mother has cancer and im going to meet them in Bangkok if they need help” and I want to take it with me instead of the new laptop…. my questions are:
1- How can make it run faster?
2- Why dose the pc card disconnect by itself every 1 or even less than 1 minute?
3- Can I put the laptop in the suitcase instead of carrying it with me?

I might be leaving in 2 or 3 days so I can’t take it for repair,

Thanks guys

I bought the di-524. I currently have netzero hispeed 3g (dialup). I will switch to Verizon DSL, the 14.99 one, in November 2006. I was wondering if the di-524 would work with DSL and how would I have to do it. I own a laptop and a desktop.

Wireless?

Broadband or dialup?
