I have been using my Verizon minutes to get on the internet (I think this is call Quick to Net) for several years. Just occasionally when traveling. I ususally do this on weekends to take advantage of free weekend minutes.
I use the Verizon CD I bought with a cable some 5 years ago and my HP Laptop running XP connected to my LG VX 4657 phone.
While travelling last month I used the program (I think it's called VZ Access?) to connect to the internet (using the slower connect modem option, not high speed) and accessed a few web pages successfully.
The next day, although the program said I was connected and everything on my laptop looked OK (I hadn't moved locations and the signal strength was the same)I kept getting DNS errors and was never able to access any web sites. I was using IE 7 both days.
What could have changed from Saturday to Sunday?
I haven't changed phones or plans in several years.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
