For the last few weeks, I have been getting an error message "Error 777: The Connection attempt failed because the modem (or other connecting devices) on the remote computer is out of order" while connecting to the Internet.

I am facing same issue wit d link dongle. how can I solve
ReplyDeleteSame problem here
ReplyDeleteI saw the same error message when using Airtel dongle. My solution:
ReplyDeletea. Opened the Airtel utility
b. Find the connection type and change from RAS to NDIS
The connection then is successful. Not sure if this will help TATA users.
Good luck.
I use a Huawei dongle and faced the same error message. The way I overcame this:
ReplyDeletea. Find out the option [in Airtel 4G dongle UI] which lists the connection type
b. Change the connection type from RAS to NDIS
I am not sure if TATA dongle users have an option to change the network type options. Hope this helps
