| busboy789 | busboy789 to PetDude Premium Member 2004-May-2 9:14 pm I've been up and down the last little bit. Could weather cause the signal on my end to drop and cause a loss in connection? I go from mid 70s down to 7 with clear skies here. |

That's why we have the link at the top of the forum to the weather around the NOC. |

That's why we have the link at the top of the forum to the weather around the NOC. so my signal strength is not necessarily a reading of signal from my dish to g3c, but a reading of connectivity between my dish and the NOC? |

PetDude 2004-May-2 9:28 pm The reading is a "signal quality factor". It isn't a true reading of the strength of the signal but the quality of the signal. And yes, that quality can be adversely affected anywhere on the path between the NOC and you. |

outlaw3864 to PetDude Premium Member 2004-May-2 9:35 pm Hello all. So I guess this weather could be causing my problem with connecting to the registration server. I had to reformatt and I am still on the dial up. I keep getting this error message: Registration Server Detection Failed - WebSetup sent a request to the DIRECWAY registration server and it responded with an error. You can retry by clicking "Retry" or exit Websetup and try again at a later time. The WebSetup program can be started from the DIRECWAY folder on the Windows Start Menu. If the problem persists please contact Customer Service. If anyone knows where I can get the 3 files I need to finish websetup, I would really appreciate it. Mike |

| CarolinaBlue | CarolinaBlue to PetDude Member 2004-May-2 9:36 pm Today I have experience the most weather related outages since my Direcway install 7-8 months ago. We have had very heavy rain storms, and I've had a total of 3 outages. Each lasting only a few minutes, and 5 minutes maximum. about less than an hour ago, I noticed "timing" errors as my transmitters was not locked on. Then my recieve signal dropped to zero. I went to look for rain but only seen thick clouds. |

CM06 to outlaw3864 Member 2004-May-3 1:00 am outlaw3864, If you are trying to get keys via satellite, the land line option is available... Nobody can send you working .acm files. They are equipment-specific and have to be downloaded to your serial numbered modem. |

outlaw3864 to PetDude Premium Member 2004-May-3 11:54 pm Thanks for the reply CM. I really had a time with websetup all day yesterday. I finally reinstalled Windows and went ahead with 98 SE this time instead of installing XP. I was on the phone with tech support for about an hour and it was going no where. Even after installing 98SE I still couldn't get websetup to complete. Finally after hours of trying today, it worked. Needless to say, I am scared to death to try and install XP only to go through all that again. I would like to thank PetDude and Greg for all there help on this. I have learned a whole lot in this forum in a little bit of time. Thanks again, Mike:):):) |
