When I try to dial out, the modem works but immediately fails and it displays
ERROR 678: THE COMPUTER YOU DIAL IN TO IS NOT ANSWERING.TRY AGAIN LATER.
All the times I try to connect, it is always like that. But my father still connect successfully. I don't know why. I can't ask my father about that problem because he doesn't allow me to do anything in Internet.
SO I NEED YOUR HELP ! PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Hi Blade, it sounds like it could be a dial up number problem or a modem string problem. A bit more info would be nice, in the meantime try a google search for "error 678" it may help you track down the problem.

I would first check the number called(dad might have changed everything), then I would make sure of my sign on name and pass word, using the right typing case. I sure hope you get it going and welcome to the PC Guide.

Welcome to pc guide a parent ly your Dad or parents decided not to allow this as long as you live under their roof you are abliged to go by their rules, in which, we in all fairness cannot help you in this kind of problem (that would be undermining your parents authority and subsiquently lead to trouble) all i can say is Welcome to the real world Where parents are in control, do not resist, it is futile, http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I am not the moral police (god only knows) but in the long run you'll respect your self more. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif

Hi everybody !!!
Thanks for your opinions !!! I'll check for your solutions later and hope they will be successful. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
To YODA74 and uncleel: I am not allowed to use Internet not because I'm too young or smt else. I'm now 18. The only reason my dad do that is I surfed the web too long so the phone bill became very expensive. That's all !!!
But Internet has so many interesting things for me to learn so I need your help to solve this problem not I try to break my father's rules. So YODA74 and uncleel, do you understand me ??? http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
Once again, thank you very much for your help !! If yours doesn't, I think I will disturb you again . http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
