Dial Up Modem Dropping

I have been trying for days to troubleshoot a dialup modem problem. While
online for a few minutes (no exact time) … I (my mother actually) will get
the dreaded ‘Cannot find server’ message.

I have tried two different modems and two different ISP’s. Before I take it
all apart to try it on a different phone line (location) I hoped ya’ll would
have a suggestion.

Here is what the modem log says …

- TSP(0000): Dropping Call
- Hanging up the modem.
- Hardware hangup by lowering DTR.
- Detected CD dropped from lowering DTR

All worked well with 2000 but this problem appears, to me, to be a XP
problem. Nothing else has changed.

Thanks in advance,
BC

Did you mean that the two modems you used were previously installed in a Win
2000 Pro machine and they worked well with Win 2000 Pro?

If these modems came from a Win 2000 machine, its firmware could have been
flashed and optimized to work with Win 2000 Pro only. Get a new modem.

Another reason for your trouble is your drivers have been hi-jacked.
Re-install drivers and get a better firewall.

Your browser could be also been damaged particularly if you are using IE6.
Re-install IE6 and critical patches. And turn-off your "Windows Automatic
Update" because, in my computer, this is the one that corrupts IE6.

Good luck.

First modem was installed and working with 2000 pro. Changed to XP Pro and
first modem would drop out. Got a new XP compatible modem and it is doing
the same thing.

Have reinstalled drivers, several times. Different drivers, etc. etc.

Will install fresh IE6.

Thanks for your response.

I am out of suggestion. Usually, in my case, reinstalling IE6 and critical
patches make me return online.

I am just curious . . . I noticed that you are using Microsoft CDO for
Windows 2000 and not Outlook Express. What is Microsoft CDO? Is it for
selected people only?


Orinello
 
CDO? Don't know nothing 'bout no CDO.

It means he's posting from the web interface.
 
Thank you guys.

But I did my own Google search and the way I understand the complicated
language, Microsoft CDO is for advanced user. CDO means Collaborative Data
Object. It is an e-mail program designed for software developers.

As I observed on this newsgroup, the Microsoft CDO users are playing naive
if not stupid. This time their "show" is about installing a second and
third hard drive disk. If you go on microsoft.public.windowsupdate their
"show" there is "how bad Internet Explorer 6."

What is going Mr. Bill Gates? Why is your people toying with the trust of
the ordinary users?

May be we are ordinary and not "the lucky and the strong" but we have
feelings too that can be hurt.

As you can see . . . I am still going . . . and going . . . and going . . .
and going . . .


Orinello
 
My last suggestion for a Microsoft CDO user who does not know how to
configure a dial-up modem is to switch to Windows Vista.

Also, you should uninstall IE6 because it is incompatible with IE7.

Do I sound like a pro now?

Yes, CDO stands for "Collaborative Data Object" But when people talk about
CDO here, they are talking about the CDO interface to these newsgroups. It's
the web-based way of accessing the groups, used instead of a newsreader.

It's the slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone way you can participate here.
It's not for advanced users, but for newbies who, in many cases, don't even
realize that a newsgroup is where they are.

Yeah, yeah what Ken said.
 
OK! I will not argue with you.

You live in your fantasies and the ordinary users will live in theirs.

And for the mean time, I will think of a way to make banana trees to process
more carbon dioxide so that its fruit will ripen very well inside Melinda's
refrigerator.

And also, I will make sure that there is now a mosquito that injects
penicillin when it bites people. This will surely help the Bill and Melinda
Gates foundation solve the poverty in the world. Good work Bill and
Melinda!

By the way, when are you going to start working on your Internet Explorer 6?
It is really annoying for the ordinary users like me to install IE6 every
week because your WAUpdate has the habit of corrupting my browser.

Another suggestion Mr. and Mrs. Gates, please make an MS social newsgroup
for your MVPs so that they will not use this newsgroup as a social club.

I know, there is MSN Messenger . . . but your people, probably including
Melinda Gates, are exhibitionists, if not show-off. This not a good image
for the world to see.

Excuse the language . . . The world does not want to see American A**h***s
on line particularly on a technical newsgroup.

What in the world are you talking about? The issue and response was
simple - namely what CDO refers to.
 
You would not understand it because you are a Mozilla user. You do not even
know that my fantasies were answer to Mr. Bill Gates challenges to the
scientific world.

Ok . . . maybe I was too hasty . . . The Microsoft CDO I am talking about is
the description I obtained from "Google Search." Microsoft people use
their own search engine "Microsoft Search."

Did you know that one time I used Microsoft Search for the Greek hero
Achilles and Microsoft Search gave the "Showtimes" for the movie "Achilles?"
The sad thing about that is the movie "Achilles" has not been released yet
in movie houses in Jersey. The movie was shown a year later. Men! We are
really behind times in Jersey.

The point is that there is a big difference between Google and Microsoft
with respect to their search engine. And that is the reason the MVPs would
not understand what I am talking about.

I don't who you include by the term "Microsoft poeple," but if you're
including me, you're very much wrong. I use Google for searching
exclusively.

No, this has nothing to do with search engines. The point is what people
mean when they talk about CDO here on these Microsoft newsgroups. No search
engine is required to find that out. I explained to you what CDO means in
this context, and for some inexplicable reason, you took offense. That's
fine. You may believe whatever you want.

I only use Google search. I don't know what you mean by Microsoft
people and that they use their own search engine. CDO in this context
refers to the web interface which leaves much to be desired. Not sure
what your whole issue is here, but frankly I don't care. Have a good day.
 
And I don't care too Jon Bon Jovi, aka Dirty Sick Pig with youDigitally
Signed Phallus and also to your conspirator, Melinda Gates aka Ken Blake.
You can play stupid all the time but what I am trying to tell both of you is
why you treat people like dirt?

You seem to be the one with the language and attitude challenge, and for
what reason I can't fathom. We just answered a simple question, what
CDO meant with respect to the web interface. If there is a problem,
it's of your own making. Good luck to you.
 
And good luck to the Denver Broncos too.

The only thing that Microsoft has to tell the ordinary users is that this
newsgroup is a private newsgroup. And unsolicited sugggestions from an
unknown person, like Orin Orig, are not really welcome. I can understand
that.

All I have to do now is to unsubscribe to this newsgroup . . . and I will
survive . . . and keep on going . . . and going . . . and going . . . and
going . . . <reverberation in the canyon>

And so I ring down the curtain again . . . and it is a pleasure to know that
the "High Priestess of the Modern Day Battle of Good and Evil" is Melinda
Gates.

I'll see you again on a different newsgroup. Tata for now!
