Today morning my friend tried to access Internet with his BSNL Broadband connection but failed. When ever he try to connect to Internet, he is getting an error message "Error 678 The remote computer did not respond". This issue persists even after an hour so he called me for a solution. Since he is using BSNL broadband, we checked their user manual and this error code is explained in it. Error 678 is due to poor connectivity and most probably modem is the actual reason behind it. The poor connectivity can be due to faulty Ethernet cable, loose connection between modem and computer or even the modem might be corrupted.
