You know this needs to be posted on the new community chat room,  so that maybe some one there  that has this problem and can understand my frustration in trying to make tech understand about this.

I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING AND TOLD YOU EVERYTHING.  PLEASE CALL ME AND LETS GET THIS STRAIGHT.  I CANNOT MAKE IT ANY PLAINER.
YOUR SOFTWARE WILL NOT CONNECT MY HOME COMPUTER TO MY DIAL UP SERVICE SO THAT I CAN ACCESS IT THROUGH A REMOTE COMPUTER.  DON'T TELL ME YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND JUST CHECK THE PREFERENCES OUT ON MY HOUSE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT CERTAIN THINGS HAVE TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO DIAL MY HOME COMPUTER FROM A REMOTE.  I DO NOT HAVE DSL,  SO I CANNOT LEAVE MY HOME COMPUTER CONNECTED ALL THE TIME.


THANKS JERRY M LESTER

I'm sure we can get this working. What version of Windows are you using? Who is your ISP? Do you use their connection software, or regular Windows Dial-up Networking to connect?

I use Windows XP,  My service provider is ntelos.net,  I use the standard windows log on to connect to the internet.

I am glad I got a response from you and I believe you do understand the problem.
I have no trouble at home connecting to the internet manually.  Just at the remote location will not connect to the home computer to make it come up whereby then I can connect to myhouse.

Thanks
Jerry Lester
 
 
Hey  read this and do you notice the X10 pro did not answer anymore

[Dan Lawrence]

A couple of questions:

1. Is the home computer OFF when you are trying to connect to Myhouse?  Are you trying to get Myhouse to turn it on?

2. How did you send the e-mail from the future?  It's still March 2, 2006 where I am. The date on your e-mail is Saturday's date

I'm not X10 Pro, just a Community Organizer trying to make sense of a somewhat garbled pair of e-mails.

Maybe thats why AHP can't see the phone call it's on a PC days in the future!


jelester: One other thing.What type of Phone are you tring to call your home PC with?.
I've noticed with my cell phone it rings twice on the cell before it rings once at home (and its not always the same amount)that would screw up the ringing sequence. The way AHP watches for a command to start MY House online.The plugin is flawed in this area. A much better way would have been to watch Callid.
Do this test if you can call home and count the rings have somone at home count the rings. Or if you have an answering machine set to pick up on # of rings see what the diference is if any! IF there is a difference thats the problem not AHP. Try this test a couple of times to see if it is consistent if so you might be able to just add a ring  or two to your count when you dial in!
