Morning all!
A colleague of mine uses a Mac Mini on dialup on the tesco.net service in the UK. Over the last couple of days, it's failed to connect.
http://memberservices.tesco.net/Tesc...iceStatus.aspx is the URL for the service status - it's blocked at work for some reason. Am asking for unblocking, but Google cache reckons it's currently thought of as fine on dialup.
The cable goes straight from the phone lines to the computer, so no external modem is involved.
Symptoms are:
Dialing, sometimes times out, disconnects and reconnects. Sometimes it connects, authenticated, then says "disconnected by peer". Then says 'resetting modem' and starts dialing again. After a few goes, it says unable to connect and please try again.
Been doing this a couple of days. I've very little experience of Macs, so asking the wider community if there are any obvious things to try out.
All assistance appreciated.
