We have a graphite iMac purchased in June of 2000...recently it has been experiencing problems connecting to the internet...the odd thing is that the problems don't occur every time...for instance you could turn the computer on and hit connect and it would dial up and be connected immediately...but the next day it would dial and not connect and not connect and this could go on for 10 minutes or most of the day...

is the problem with the computer? hardware or software or with the ISP? i have tried everything i can think of...resetting the pram...etc...to no avail...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Well, if it's dialing the right number and your login settings are correct then it sounds like a problem with your ISP, or I guess your modem could be screwed, but I need more info.
Have you double checked your DNS numbers and your login/password? Do you get a message like "connection refused" or does it just sit there? Check the TCP/IP control panel and make sure you have it set to connect via modem. That's all I can come up with on the info you provided. Good luck!

Exactly what error are you getting when it will not connect? Also, what ISP are you using?
