Author 777 not working anymore?

2005-10-12, 11:48 pm

Something strange- it used to work, Mac or Windows. Just dial, and it gets an IP. IT still does except no valid DNS is passed, nothing resolves. The connection just hangs there like a dead DSL line with a link light.

Anything change recently?

Im using a Sanyo 8100. This started a couple months ago and I just wrote it off to a fresh Windows install, but even with Mac OS X, which it was simpler to get going than Windows, it does the same thing.

I don't know if anything changed or not, but can you get it working by
entering the DNS IP's manually?

Doesn't work for me either- anymore, same/similar setup.

I even tried doing manual DNS entries, no ping, traceroute, etc. All
packets stop at the IP# assigned, the status will show me having an IP
of 172.x.x.x assigned on the Mac which makes no sense, thats usually a
private IP range.

This is after the connection is established and authentication passed.
I've tried with the user/pass web/web and leaving it blank.

As of this afternoon, mine seems to be working. I'm getting about 85
kbit/sec from dslreports.com, which is actually pretty good for this
area.

On one Windows machine I only get http/https, no ssh, to ping, no
imaps, etc.

Same phone, a more recent FutureDial install (same version of the
software, but installed much later) on a different machine everything
works.

A 172 is usually assigned by the PC when no other IP is assigned (if you
have DNS/DHCP active as a service in XP). This almost always tells me that I
have not reached my ISP.
