Buzz Posted July 4, 2005 CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 A few days ago I changed over to the small biz account, so I thought I would check my FAP Cap to see how I was doing........and to see how close FAPMON was to being an accurate monitor. I went to log on and (big surprise) my account was reported as disabled! NOT GOOD! I called the small biz support line, got someone with about a 30 second wait, much better service than the residential accounts! Anyway I told the tech about changing over a few days ago and wondered if there was a problem......he tried to log on with my name and password and got a message that said system will be down for upgrades until Tuesday!! TOO BAD THEY DIDN'T SEND E-MAIL NOTICES OUT OR POST A MESSAGE ON THE LOG IN PAGE SO THE CUSTOMERS KNOW WHAT'S UP!! The tech said he needed to access the same webpage as I did to see how I was doing with my FAP Cap......but he did confirm that I was indeed changed over to the small biz account......then he said he could tell because they changed satellites......finally getting to the point here...... How can you tell what satellite your on? My frequency has definitely changed! Thanks, Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggr3 Posted July 4, 2005 CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 Buzz...if they changed your sat..they would have to repoint your dish....they could change your frequency with a software download...here's most of them.. Galaxy 11 (91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toad56 Posted July 4, 2005 CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 I recently changed from a consumer account to the consumer pro. When you change transponders, you also get a new site ID and you have to reregister your MyDirecway and your E-mail accounts. I have found that you can reuse the same names that you were using before...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted July 4, 2005 CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 Even with your static IP, you're still sharing it with 4 other people at the forum as I'm typing this... 9 other people on my IP (non static)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted July 4, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 Yeah I know.....why they call it static I don't know...maybe because it is addressed that way only when you networking? AS LONG AS IT WORKS!! :haha: Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted July 4, 2005 CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 if you don't have a static IP with DirecWay, your IP changes every time you powercycle, sometimes more often. I could PM you the list of IP's you or I have had... its pretty big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted July 4, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 So the difference is now I should have the same one ....but on a time share type deal with others having the same IP address Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted July 4, 2005 CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 Others will share your IP address... I don't know about the VNC thing... DirecWay might block the ports... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted July 4, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 4, 2005 So It is only static not private.....whtever as long as it contiunes with speeds like these.. I will be a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
