Hi everyone, just found this forum and was hoping to find some help.
I will try and make this as short as I can
I have a ibook G4 (my first Mac and I can't tell you how much I love this, I would NEVER go back to a Windows PC ever again)
Ok, here's my story. I had a problem with my ISP (very slow/bad connection) so they told me to remove it (was 295.ca) and when I did that, that's when the problems started. I could not log on (now the same thing happened with my PC, With the PC, it logs on, IE can't connect then the modem disconnects, so it has to be something when I removed the connection dial up).
Now, I finally got the ibook to connect (PC still not working) but can only connect at 28800 (zzzzzzzz) and have to dial in a ton of times to connect or the modem unexpectedly hangs up (the new ISP has no problems on their end. Really good company to deal with, so I know it's not them)
I was connecting at 48/52k before, so I know it has it in it
Can I uninstall and reinstall the modem or software, will that help?
Also I cannot find on this anywhere how to remove hardware or software, so ya got me.
I can't get high speed here so I'm stuck with dial up and can't reinstall the OS as I have Photoshop CS and Office but not the cd's (2nd owner)
Actually it just disconnected me now, then I dial up and it comes up.... "no carrier detected", then "modem unexpectedly hung up" then "could not negotiate a connection with the server" now on the 7th try, I connect.
Any suggestions.......ideas...........thoughts.........questions..........good anti-depressants...........this weekends lottery numbers............ Anything ???
Thanks everyone.....;D
