Hi guys

Been using HSDPA for close to 3 years now without hassles, then for some reason on Monday I couldn't connect, getting Error 619: Connection to the remote computer could not be established so this port was closed.

Not really tech savvy when it comes to these kind of things, but i've tried reinstalling VMC, going back to restore points before the error started, but nothing helped so far.

Checked the FAQ thread and it gave me the following info (pasted below) which is still a bit greek to me, so if someone knows of a way to fix this, please post your comments here.


619 - The port is disconnected.

This error can occur with any Windows version when accessing a Windows-2000 domain. See Microsoft KB Article Q227747; for Windows XP see KB Q314485






To work around this issue, you must register the RRAS server in Active Directory using an account that has domain administrator permissions. To do so, use either of the following methods:
Back to the top
Add the RRAS Computer to the Appropriate Group
Add the RRAS computer to the appropriate group:
Log on to your computer with an account that has administrator privileges on the Windows 2000 domain.
Launch the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in, and then double-click the domain name.
Double-click the Users folder, and then double-click the RAS and IAS Servers security group.
Select the members tab.
Add the RRAS server to this group.
NOTE: If the organization has more than one domain in the forest, and users from the different domains are trying to log on to the RRAS server, continue to follow steps 1 through 5 until the RRAS server is in the "RAS and IAS Servers" security group for each respective domain.

There's a problem with Vodacom's DNS servers.

Wow, ok, so the fault's with them? Do they have any idea when it will be sorted? A communication from their side would have helped me not to waste 2 evenings trying to find the problem. :(
