Keep getting the above error spuriously...

win xp...

it drops the adsl modem and wont let me reconnect.. it removes the icon from task bar, and the only way round it is to turn off and on

any ideas

The error is listed as follows.....

660 The device .INF file contains no responses for the command.

Although this seems to refer more to dial-up.

How do you have IE setup? Do you have it set to dial-up, or not? It should be set not to dial IIRC.

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is USB problems. I assume the modem is USB?

Can you try it in another port?

mart360

Will try swapping usp ports to see if it makes any differance..

would it help if i dropped it into a usb2.0 port

dont know how its set up, as i just ran the disk, and it did the biz for me..

its not on auto connect, as i use icon to connect..

i did have some problems getting to talk using other accounts, as it would not connect saying the connection was un use (privelaiges et al)


the only way i can get it to connect when another user uses the amchine is via a pseudo dial up , (it presents a dial up type box, but connects via the adsl modem)

Who are you with?

Normally it can be setup without the $hitty software they supply. It can cause more problems in my experience.

Edit - would it happen to be a Speedtouch modem? And are you using XP?

mart360

ok just had it again....

its error 680 no dial tone..

its a sagem 800 e2T modem

its XP pro sp1 and Tiscali is the provider


if any of that helps

Are you certain the cabling is all done properly?

It is Critical this is right!!

How is your cabling done? Any extensions? Where are the microfilters?

Be very specific please.

mart360

Cabeling here we go...

from main feed into house...

branches off to jack socket in front room. microfilter

fmf to upstairs jack socket bed one/ hard wired to jack socket bed 2 & office bed 1 & 2 neither are used or have filters.

office had filter straight to pc

its been fine for all the time i have been running on 512k problem only seems top have started when upped to 1.1k

its very susceptable to electric noise, ive found that

Ive had the same problem..keeps auto disconnecting and very slow..after phoning up the isp ,they said to remove the front plate of the NTE5 master (to remove all extensions)and plug the filter into the main plug behind..as i speak its been fine and alot quicker...it must be a extension socket dragging the line down..(but voice calls were'nt a problem on the extensions)...strange

D16GER

Okay, here's the deal.....

No matter what the configuration is in your house, you must, and I stress MUST have a microfilter at the earliest junction possible. And then each branch after that.

I have seen a friend's connection do similar to yours, that's why I asked about the wiring. His problem turned out to be the upstairs extension was hard-wired at the back of the main box. We removed it and the connection was perfect.

For example, in your case, I would advise as follows....

Assuming I am reading right and you have a main feed into the house, then all branches are off it?...

Main Inlet>Microfilter>FrontRoom Extension
Main Inlet>Microfilter>Upstairs Jack Bed One

These are the 2 locations you need to cover, the last one(bed 2) will be covered by bed 1, as it branches off it.

Here is a pic, to illustrate it better.....

hmm interesting,

all my feeds ultimatly are hard wired off the main box,

not sure if i understand how you put the filter before the socket, and how do you connect that filter into the cable?

(i think i might be missing somthing )

Mart

Basically, you must have all 'live' lines in your home filtered, regardless if a phone is plugged into the line or not, it is still live.

If all yours are hard wired, then the only way around it I can see is to place a microfilter at each socket.

mart360

will get some more filters, and see what i can do
