Virtual Private Network and Dialup Connectivity Modem Strings

December 19th, 2009



What to do when your dialup has intermittent network connectivity?

Q u e s t i o n

What do you do if you reside in a rural area, and your are constantly having problems connecting; when the modem tries to connect, it appears to be retraining continuously and then it either connects at a poor connection rate, or fails to connect at all.

A n s w e r

Due to the location, it may be necessary to lower the speed you connect at, as your modem is unable to maintain the faster V90 speeds.

If you are running Windows 95/98/ME, just add the appropriate modem string from the list below.

To find out what type of modem you have installed, click on Start, Settings, Control Panel then Modems.
To add the Extra String to your modem, double click on My Computer, then Dial-up Networking (for Windows ME, Dial-up Networking is located in the Control Panel).

Right click on your Orcon connection, then left click on Properties.

Click on the Configure button lower-down, click on the Connection tab along the top, and then the Advanced button lower-down.

Type the appropriate string for your modem in the field for Extra String.

If you are running Windows 2000/XP, to find out what type of modem you have installed:
Double click on My Computer, then Control Panel.

Double click on the Phone and Modem options icon, then click on the Modems tab along the top.

Click on the Properties button lower-down, then click on the Advanced tab along the top.

Type the appropriate string for your modem in the field for Extra Initialization String.

Note: If you are unable to connect after adding the below extra string, then this is not the right string for you.

If you are using Windows 95 and 98, you will need to restart your computer after adding the extra string, or you will get Error 630 when trying to connect without restarting your computer.

Examples:

Rockwell/Conexant HCF/SoftK56 (Internal) modem

Add +MS=V34,1 to the extra string

Rockwell/Conexant External modem

Add +MS=11

Lucent Winmodem

Add s38=0-v90=0

Wireless USB Network Card Not Working – Troubleshooting

December 15th, 2009



If you use a wireless USB network adapter to access the network, probably you have met such problems before: the adapter has already been installed in the computer, and the system has recognized it, at the same time there is a message on the screen tells that its driver is installing, but when the installation is complete, you find that your wireless network card can not work and you wonder how to fix it.

As a matter of fact, if you check this problem carefully, you will find the USB port feature on your motherboard has been successfully enabled since your computer recognizes this card, also the computer USB port and the network card USB interface have no problem. Obviously, it is the improper installation of your adapter driver leading to this error.

Generally you need to install or update the relevant USB controller program for the first time to use the computer USB port. Therefore, you can open the Device Manager (Start / Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager), double-click Universal Serial Bus Controllers, right-click the related controller and select Update Driver to keep its driver up to date.

If the approach above fails, and then you can check whether the network card driver has been installed correctly, for the installation of some wireless USB network adapters is different from that of the normal ones: you need to firstly install their drivers, next plug the card into the computer, and then system will configure and install them automatically, if the order is wrong, it would also easily make your card unable to work.
