Trouble connecting to DUN with old modem
now. A few days ago it stopped calling my favourite ISP. I get a dial tone and then a message that the signal has disconnected (Error 639 in DUN) and that I should double click on the connection to reconnect. The modem doesn't get as far as actually dialing the number. I wonder if anyone knows how I can work around this. The modem will connect to other ISPs ok. It is just the one that I use regularly that it won't connect to. Does anyone know what is going on? Cheers Bill Bill Jillians wrote:

Check to make sure your connections are well-seated and that you can connect to other providers, then call them for technical support.

'phone and see if you get through to a modem (the screeching noise). If you don't then it is a line problem, possibly at their end.

There is 10 seconds of ready-to-dial noise and then the modem says "Disconnecting" from the attempt to dial. It doesn't dial any number. I thought that the connection might have been corrupted so I created a different Virgin connection with the same phone number and log on details. That did exactly the same thing ... disconnected before it had tried to dial. I really don't know what is going on. What does DUN error number 639 mean anyway ?

The on-line relay may have a fault, which was common in the days of pulse dialling and much making and breaking of inductive circuits with undersized relays. -- "If you want to post a followup via groups.google.com, don't use the broken "Reply" link at the bottom of the article.

When I erased it from my system I could connect to my ISP just fine. You'd have thought Panda wouldn't do something like that if they wanted me to go back to them. Their virus checker was always down so I'm not very happy with the service they provided. BJ Show quoteHide quote |
