- B. Troubleshooting
- Problem: The modem is not responding when
I try to connect.
- Solution A: Check all wires to the modem,
making sure they are plugged in.
- Solution B: Double click on your My Computer
icon, then double click on Dial-Up Networking.
In this folder you'll see your NMSU-Net icon.
Using your right mouse button click once on it and
scroll down to the Properties option. You should
at this point receive an error stating that your modem
is not installed yet. Click OK and the properties
box will appear. Near the bottom of the box you'll
see 'Connect Using' and a thin box with 'Standard
300 bps Modem' in it. Click on the downward arrow
beside this box and highlight your existing modem.
Then click OK and try again.
- Problem: 'Client for Microsoft Networks' is
not the first component installed under my 'Network'
icon.
- Problem: After reaching a connection I get
an error message stating that I have been disconnected
from the computer I was dialing, or a no DNS entry error
when using Netscape.
- Solution A: Click on the Start button
and go to Settings and Control Panel.
From there double click on the Network icon.
Under ' The following network components are installed'
the following should be listed: ' Client for Microsoft
Networks', , 'Dial-Up Adapter, and 'TCP/IP'.
Is 'Client for Microsoft networks' first on
the list? If not go to b. Network Settings
Then go to a. Dial-Up Settings to check your
dns entries.
- Solution B: Make sure you turn off call
waiting if you have it. This can be done clicking
on the Dial Properties of your Aggie-Net
icon before you connect. Check the box to disable
call waiting and place *70 (off campus) or *41# (on
campus) where prompted.
- Solution C: A poor phone line can cause
a modem to disconnect. If you often hear static when
using your phone, this may be the case. Contact you
phone company and have them look at your line.
- Problem: I still can't connect after doing
all the above
- Solution: Call Technical Assistance @ 646-1840.
Please be at the computer when you call.
For assistance, e-mail: help@nmsu.edu, or call 646-1840
