Mystery Dial Up (long time "Logging on to network")
Hi,
I recently bought a used Toshiba "Satellite" 2105CDS (WIN98se) laptop. After I downloaded the drivers for this model from Toshiba's site, I formatted the HDD and installed Win98SE (not from a "System Restore" CD). I installed the drivers. Everything is fine, but the dial up connection (using internal 56K modem). Unlike my other Win98 computers, when I "connect" (via "Dialer"), "Connect" and "Confirming password" is normal (quick). "Logging on to network" takes a long time before this is finished (Dialer window closes and small icon appears in System Tray). I have tried several times on different days. My other slower computer, doesn't have this problem. Note: Afterwards, I have no trouble browsing and downloading (download speed is always fast for dial up). As a test, I installed a new PC card modem and it's driver. Using that modem, I still have the same problem! I called Toshiba tech support and he told me to check settings and compare them to the other computer. I already did that. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC. |

Most likely you have the "Log on to network" ticked. Its in the propertys of the dun connectoid. As a test, I installed a new PC card modem and it's driver. Using that modem, I still have the same problem! Because that box is still ticked. I called Toshiba tech support and he told me to check settings and compare them to the other computer. I already did that. Likely you didnt do that carefully enough. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? See above. |

Yep, go into DUN (or dialup, can't remember which) properties and uncheck "log in to network". Jon |
