Error 31: This error is caused by an incorrect network setting in the CaribServe.NET connection icon. The solution:

  1. Double-click the CaribServe.NET icon on the Desktop.
  2. Click on the button Properties.
  3. Click on the tab Networking.
  4. Change the value of the field called Type of dial-up server I am calling: to PPP: Windows 95/98/NT4/2000, Internet.
  5. Click the button OK.
  6. Click the button Dial to connect to the Internet.

Error 602: The modem is being used by another Dial-Up Networking connection or another program. Disconnect the other connection or close the program, then try to connect again. Otherwise, try restarting the computer.

Error 619: The port on your computer is disconnected. Though we do not know exactly what causes this error, it usually occurs only in Windows 98 and ME, which both have relatively unstable network implementations. It is usually a transient error that disappears if you try reconnecting 3-5 times in a row. Otherwise, try restarting the computer.

Error 625: Invalid information found in the phone book. Though we do not know exactly what causes this error, it usually occurs only in Windows 98 and ME, which both have relatively unstable network implementations. It is usually a transient error that disappears once you restart the computer. If not, you will need to delete and re-create the CaribServe.NET dial-up connection icon.

Error 629: You have been disconnected from the computer you dialed. Double-click the connection to try again.

Error 630: The computer is not receiving a response from the modem. Check that the modem is plugged in. This is usually a transient error that disappears once you restart the computer.

Error 633: The modem is not properly installed and/or configured for Dial-Up Networking. This error occurs when Windows does not recognize the Cirronet WaveBolt USB modem. There are several methods to solve this issue:

Method 1
Check that the green power light is burning on the Cirronet WaveBolt USB modem. If it isn't, properly connect the power supply and connect to the Internet.

Method 2

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Unplug all 3 cables to the Cirronet WaveBolt USB modem. Next, plug all three cables back into the Cirronet WaveBolt USB modem.
  3. Unplug the Cirronet WaveBolt USB cable from the computer. Next, plug the Cirronet WaveBolt USB cable back into the computer.
  4. Restart the computer and connect to the Internet.

Method 3
If methods 1 and 2 do not work, this means there is something wrong with the Cirronet WaveBolt USB drivers and the software will need to be reinstalled. Please contact our Technical Support department if you require assistance with this matter.

Error 650: The computer you're dialing is not responding to a network request. Check your server type setting in the properties of the connection. This is usually a transient error that occurs in Windows 98 and ME that disappears once you restart the computer.

Error 666: Device not ready.

Error 667: The Dial-up Networking information in the registry is corrupt. To restore it shut down the computer and restart.

Error 676: The line is busy. Try again later. This is usually a transient error that disappears once you restart the computer.

Error 678: This is a is a generic, catch-all error that Windows displays whenever the connection procedure can not get to or past the PPPoE authentication step.  Windows displays this generic error when it cannot determine the exact cause of the failure. Therefore, to resolve this issue you need to eliminate all possible causes one-by-one until the connection succeeds.

Is your CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL connection connected directly to your computer or does it first connect to a router? If the answer to your question is direct to your computer, then please proceed with the steps below. If your answer was router, then please make sure that your router is configured correctly by following the steps on this page

  1. Please confirm that all cables required for your CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL connection are properly connected. Follow the cable coming into your premises from the antenna on the outside and make sure that it is firmly plugged into the data port of the Motorola power injector and that the small black data cable of the power injector is plugged into the Ethernet port of your PC. Next, please follow the thin power cable of the power supply and make sure that the power brick is firmly plugged into the power source (electrical outlet). You can verify this by checking for the small green light on the power supply. Reset power to the Canopy radio by unplugging the power brick from the power source (green light will go off) for 10 seconds and plugging it back in. Please wait 30 seconds and try connecting again by clicking on the CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon. If the connection still fails, please proceed to the next step

  2. Verify that the Local Area Connection has not been disabled. If so, please re-enable it by placing the cursor of the mouse over the local area connection and using the right button on your mouse to display the hidden menu. Once displayed, please select Enable from the menu to re-enable the connection. The Local Area Connection is the Ethernet port on the back of your computer where the Canopy power supply or network cable is plugged in. If the port is disabled, it is in fact turned off by the computer and thus no network traffic can pass through the network port to the radio and/or router. You can access the Local Area Connection by clicking on START -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Network Connections. Select the icon with the right mouse button and select properties from the hidden menu. Once completed, please try connecting again by clicking on the CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon. If the connection still fails, please proceed to the next step.

  3. Check the properties of the CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL connection icon to ensure that a service name was not placed in the connection. Some service providers require a service name when running PPPOE. CaribServe.NET does not and thus if there are any characters in the service name, the connection will fail and result in an error 678 (the Service Name field must be blank.) You can access the properties of your CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon by clicking on START -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Network Connections. Select the icon with the right mouse button and select properties from the hidden menu. Once completed, please try connecting again by clicking on the CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon. If the connection still fails, please proceed to the next step.

  4. Repair the Local Area Connection or, if this displays an error message, disable and re-enable it. You can access the properties of your CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon by clicking on START -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Network Connections. Select the icon with the right mouse button and select repair from the hidden menu. Once completed, please try connecting again by clicking on the CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon. If the connection still fails, please proceed to the next step.

  5. Delete the CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon by right clicking on the icon and selecting delete from the hidden menu. You can access the properties of your CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon by clicking on START -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Network Connections. Re-create the CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon by following the step-by-step instructions on this page to complete this task. Once completed, please try connecting again by clicking on the CaribServe.NET Wireless ADSL icon. If the connection still fails, please proceed to the next step.

  6. If you are running an operating system other than WindowsXP (Windows98, WindowsME, Windows2000) you will need to make sure that the phone number in the connection properties is set to 0 or the connection will fail.

  7. If none of the steps above assist you in overcoming error 678, please contact our technical support department to schedule an on-site support visit for further trouble-shooting.
