Common solutions

Are you using the Juno software to connect?

You will not be able to access the Internet without using our software. Double-click the Juno Internet icon on your desktop to connect. If you do not see the Juno Internet icon on your desktop, you may need to reinstall the software. Follow the instructions listed below to reinstall Juno.

To Reinstall the Juno Software:

  1. Verify that the Juno program is not running in the background (Tell me how).
  2. Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
    Windows Vista users: Click the Windows Start button and select Computer.
  3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
  4. Double-click the JunoInstaller folder to open it.
  5. Double-click the JunoInstaller icon to launch the Juno Installer software, and follow the on-screen instructions.
  6. Click Yes or Accept if you are asked to allow the installation to proceed.
  7. Once the installation has finished, launch Juno and try connecting to the Internet.

Reboot your computer and try starting Juno again.

  1. Click the Windows Start button and select Shut Down.
  2. After one minute, restart your computer again.
  3. Try your Juno connection again.

Test your phone line

Connection problems may be caused by "Line Noise" on your phone line. To test this you'll need to listen to your phone line without the dial tone. To do this, lift the phone handset and dial any number (e.g. 1). Once the dial tone is gone you have about 30 seconds to listen to your phone line (after about 30 seconds the line may change to a busy signal). Listen closely to the line to hear any pops, bangs, crackles, creaking or faint voices in the background. Any of these noises can cause your modem connection to fail.

These noises can be caused by something simple, such as a bad connection somewhere in the house or a problem on the line connected to your modem. Try plugging your computer/modem into a different wall jack and repeat the test. If the problem persists, call you local telephone company. Let them know that you are hearing line noise and explain that you are using a modem.

Back


Clear any voicemail.

Your modem may not detect a dial tone if you have unchecked voicemails. Clear your messages before connecting.

Back


Verify that the modem is connected properly.

  1. Check that the phone cord is securely connected from the phone jack on the wall to the back of your computer in outlet labeled "Telco," or "Line In,” or “Line” vs. “Phone” on the computer.
  2. The modem should be connected directly to the wall socket, with no cable splitters on the line.
  3. If you have other devices connected between the wall jack and the computer modem (such as fax machines, caller id boxes, or other phones), these could be interrupting the dial tone. Try disconnecting all other devices and reconnecting to Juno. If this resolves the problem, connect those devices to a different wall jack.

Change access numbers and verify your dialing preferences

Sometimes a bad access number may prevent you from making a successful connection. Pay special attention to the number listed on your JTV screen (looks something like this - dialing xxx-xxx-xxxx) during the connection process. If your connection fails after dialing the first access number, try removing that number from your selected list of access numbers and add other numbers that are local to you. Also, verify your dialing preferences.

WARNING: THE USE OF SOME TELEPHONE ACCESS NUMBERS MAY RESULT IN LONG DISTANCE CHARGES. IN SELECTING YOUR ACCESS NUMBER(S), PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH AN ACCESS NUMBER MAY BE IN YOUR AREA CODE OR LOCATED IN YOUR GENERAL GEOGRAPHIC REGION, IT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE A LOCAL NUMBER FOR YOU. YOU MAY INCUR SUBSTANTIAL TELEPHONE CHARGES IF YOU CHOOSE ACCESS NUMBERS THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY YOUR LOCAL CALLING PLAN. WE URGE YOU TO CHECK WITH YOUR TELEPHONE COMPANY TO FIND OUT WHICH NUMBERS ARE LOCAL FOR YOU BEFORE USING A NUMBER FROM THIS LIST.

To change access numbers and verify your dialing preferences:
  1. Double-click the Juno icon.
  2. Click Settings on the Welcome screen and then click Locations.
  3. Select you location (e.g. Home) and click Modify.
  4. On the Set-Up a Dialing Location screen, verify the number of the telephone line connected to your computer. Do not turn off call waiting unless call waiting is enabled/active on your telephone line.
  5. Click Continue.
  6. The next screen allows you to select local access numbers. Check all the local numbers available to you. If you dial 10-digits to reach someone within the same area-code, check the Area Code box for each selected access number. If you dial 11-digits to reach someone within the same area-code, check the Dial 1 and Area Code boxes for each selected access number.
  7. Click Continue and then click Finish to proceed to the logon screen.
  8. Retry the Juno connection.

Is the problem isolated to one Web page or all Web pages?

Try accessing another web site to determine if the problem isolated to a specific Web site. Some Web sites are periodically unavailable because of maintenance or upgrades being carried out on their server. Certain sites can also become very busy, depending on the time of the day and day of the week. The only thing you can do in either case is to try again later. Also, check if the site requires any plugins to operate (such as Flash) and that you have a suitable version of the plugin needed.

Try using three commas in your suffix

Entering three commas after the phone number may solve connection problems. Try the following steps:

  1. Double-click the Juno icon on your Desktop.
  2. Click Settings on the Welcome screen and then click Locations.
  3. On the Dialing Location screen, highlight your preferred location (i.e. Home) and click Modify.
  4. On the Set-Up a Dialing Location screen, click Advanced.
  5. On the Advanced Dialing screen, type three commas ,,, in the Suffix text box and click Continue.
  6. Click Continue, and click Continue again.
  7. On the Congratulations screen, confirm that the numbers you have chosen are displayed and that the three commas are included in the suffix.
  8. Click Finish and retry the Juno connection.

Placing 3 commas after the phone number will pause your computer's modem to wait for the V.90 signal (56K) coming from your access number's modem. If some brands of modems do not receive the v.90 signal immediately, they will automatically disconnect or look for the next connection speed (33.6k, 28.8k, etc). Although your access number's modem tries to connect at 56K, your computer's modem may try to connect at 33.6k or lower, possibly resulting in no connection at all.

Disable v.90 (If applicable)

In some cases, disabling the v.90 functionality for your modem will improve your connection. To disable v.90, you will need to enter an initialization string specific to your modem.

Note: Disabling v.90 will lower your connection speed to a maximum of 33.6 Kbps. While this speed is slower, it will provide a more stable connection versus an unstable connection at faster speeds.

Here are specific initialization strings for common modems (if your modem is not on this list, please contact the vendor for the correct initialization string):

Note: 0 = Zero

Modem Initialization String
HSP 56 Micro Modem n0s37=12
Lucent Win Modem -v90=0s38=0
LT Win Modem -v90=0s38=0
Conexant Soft K56 PCI +ms=v34
Rockwell HCF 56K Data Fax PCI +ms=v34
US Robotics 56K Voice Win s32=98
