problem with internet connection with OS 10.2.6
hi,
i'm using a white 12 inches iBook, 700Mhz, 384MB RAM,
& having a problem with internet connection with OS 10.2.6 at my home sometimes,
i'm using normal modem phone line in my house,
i do it the usual way to connect to the net:
1- plugged in the phone line,
2- select the location (home)
3- go to the "Modem" icon (on the top-right on menu)
4- click & select "connect" , the running text "dialing" appear
5- wait for a while, word change to running text "connection"
6- & it change to "00.00.01" which mean i'm connected.
then sometimes when dialing at 5- it will suddenly become running text "disconnecting"
& it will remain there (disconnecting) for the rest of time!!
longest i waited in 30 minutes!
i try to go & click "disconnect" manually, it doesn't help.
so i log off & come in again, the running text "disconnecting" remain!
& i have to restart & come back again in order to make it disappear.
i feel very upset about this, & very troublesome for me.
it never happen to me before 10.2.6.
so questions:
a> anyone know why this happen? is it something to do with my network setting?
might not be because most of the time it work too & i didn't do any changes in system preference.
b> anyone how to fix it?
c> anything to do with me having some 3rd party system preference running?
i got windowshade X, ASM.
d> this is abit off topic, everything something wrong happened (this, or software hang) & when i restart, it take 2, or 3 times longer to restart (from the moment i click restart to reach the log-in page, took around 2+ minutes... i am so shy when my PC friend see this...), any idea why?
thanks guys.
