- Hello all,
-
- I have a Teleport Platinum connected to a Powermac 7500.
-
- Problem: Upon booting up, I am able to dialin (via MacSlip) and use any
- of my network applications (Eudora, Netscape, etc.) with no problem. If
- I disconnect my slip connection and try to redial again, here is what
- happens:
- 1. I can't dialin. The macslip trace window tells me it is
- initializing the modem, but can't seem to find the modem.
- 2. If the modem does dialin successfully, my applications can't seem
- to find the necessary tcp/ip information it needs to identify my
- machine. i.e.; When netscape is opened, I get the error "can't
- the DNS entry", however that is worded. My Eudora program can't
- seem to find the mail server so I get various Eudora mail errors.
-
- Things I've tried:
-
- 1. I tried turning off the modem itself, after having a successful
- dialin. That didn't work.
- 2. I tried rebooting the mac, first w/out turning off the modem. That
- didn't work.
- 3. The only thing that seems to work about 98% of the time is to
- completely shut down everything (modem and mac), then reconnect.
-
- I should be able to connect/disconnect and then reconnect at anytime
- w/out shutting down everything. Can someone please give me a clue on
- what the problem may be?
-
- BTW, Global Village tech support had no clue as to what the problem may
- be. I also have all the current versions to the powermac system
- software. The AT commands I'm using is &F1 (which sets factory
- defaults) and &D0.
-
- Thanks
