Hi,

Not an expert, but understand a little. I've got Lamnia VPN to a UK server on an iMac/ firefox to get iPlayer downloads via a TOT 4 Mb line in Sankamphaeng. It uses a 'LPT2' connection whatever that is. I've got used to the appallingly slow download speeds,but the real problem is that I keep getting a message 'the PPP server is not responding'. This seems to happen very frequently around 7-9 am and then laterin the afternoon. I try to download overnight as the speeds are faster but still most mornings I find that the line has disconnected.

Lamnia think this is a problem with TOT.

I really do not understand 'PPP' 'LPT2' etc.

Can anyone explain/ help in simple English? I suspect there is not going to be an answer until TOT pulls it's socks up ( ? next century?

Thanks in advance

That may be Lamnia issue.

I use two other vpns to the UK with no problems. Albeit slow connections sometimes, but they work.

I know nothing about macs, so my follow up answers will be meaningless.
