You need serious firewall protection.

Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
I have XP and can run 4.15 version without problem. The .dss codec should automatically download after you have loaded a .dss file and try to play it, at least it did for me the first time I tried. After that, the codec was there.
You should be able to do a search on the NCH site for .dss codec to find the appropriate file if the above doesn't work for you. Keep us updated.
I wish NCH would fix that 4.16 version!
You need an air card to connect to the Internet. Once you're connected, you can do what you norma
do. I have Sprint PCS and like their service. There are different plans you can choose from. Some give you the air card if you sign up for their better plans. Hope this helps.
if you can access the internet, you can
work. Not a problem.
There is internet access but they charge big $$$
We went on a cruise in April and I did not even think of work. It would not have been financially beneficial. I would have paid more in internet fees than I would have been making. I would just go and enjoy yourself.
Satellite Internet Access
I am currently living in rural Iowa, and my only options for Internet access right now are dial-up (can you say S-L-O-W ?) and satellite. I know I can get HughesNet and WildBlue. My questions are:
1. Are there any other providers I may have missed?
2. Anyone have experience with HughesNet or WildBlue or any other satellite access for MT work?
I have to make a decision on this within the next week or two, so any help would be much appreciated.
I access an acct via a VPN and I have full internet, too. nm

Satellite Internet Access - wireless?
Where are you located? I'm in rural Iowa, about halfway between Des Moines and Omaha. We are on a hill with no trees around, but there are higher hills around us, and we can only occasionally get cell phone signal. No line-of-sight for the cell towers around here. I don't really know much about wireless, though, but I'm not even sure I can get it here. I don't even know what to look for, I guess. Can you or someone else clue me in?
Hospital Disabling Internet Access for MT's
I have a question and hope someone might be able to help me. I work at home as an MT. The company I currently work for does overflow work for a hospital; however, while on the hospital's platform to transcribe their reports, your email and internet are disabled and you cannot access either one - is this legal? I feel like this is an infringement of MY rights, &c. It is my equipment, I pay the bills, yet I'm limited - and everyone knows the quickest and easiest way to find something is to look it up on the internet. I can understand the hospital is worried about patient confidentiality, &c., but for them to dictate how and when I can use my own computer is ridiculous - like telling me I can drive my car, but can't use the A/C in the middle of a hot and muggy Florida summer! This really burns me up, esp when we don't have QA and are supposed to send blanks directly to the doctors - who just love to b**ch when you're wrong while we are constantly correcting their mistakes and helping further inflate their over-sized "*I* am GOD!!!" egos!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Oh for Pete's sake! Had Internet access long?
sheesh
I have no problem getting connected
OE just won't send/receive my E-mail. I just get "error". It worked fine yesterday. I have tried shutting down my computer and only opening OE with nothing else open (no web pages and/or Yahoo), and it still will not work.
Feeling connected again...thanks!
Back in the job search mode after 14 years, this forum has been a wealth of information, from company reputations to thoughtful discussion on topics of mutual interest. In the olden days when I worked onsite, my fellow Transcriptionist and I were there for each other for support. With the trend toward working at home growing over the years, we can feel isolated, and this board is an antidote. Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts, and I look forward to sharing mine! 
Do you have a phone line connected? sm
When I first got DSL, I couldn't fax, either. I discovered that I needed to have an adapter that plugs the phone line to the computer. It's a little box that has two jacks and the DSL line is connected to it and then you run a separate line from it to your computer and then you can use the fax utility. I will see if I can find what that adapter is called as I forget right at the moment!
P.S. If you've never connected to this server before sm
there is a lot of info you will need...your MTSO will have to supply that.
I have both my computers connected to my DSL modem and no router
and both computers connected to the KVM switch, but maybe my DSL modem is a modem/router or some fancy thing like that. It does have a bunch of plug-ins in the back.

Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet? Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."

Of course you can access them
What do you mean you have no program to access them?
Why can't you just do a file search?
1.80 for me ... have to use their access. nm

Access sm
I had a terrible time and kept restoring my computer to an older date late Sat., early Sun.. I think it just showed me how valuable this site is to me. I would hate anything to happen to it. Glad to see it back!!
I can access it.
If you still have trouble after scanning for malware, you might want to try polycola.com and see if you can access Google through there.
access disconnect
They disconnect the phone line and you see on your computer that the connection was disconnected. Then they only can get back in when you let them, by clicking on an icon and working with them at your end to get them into your computer. Dont worry, it is done all the time. You will see the disconnect on your screen.
It's very frustrating trying to access
This qualifies for the Stupid Business Decisions award.
What are you using to access their FTP site?
You don't use Internet Explorer to access FTP sites. You can download CoreFTP Lite for free and use it to upload and download from FTP sites. If you want to, you can email me and I'll try to walk you through it. Win98 shouldn't make a difference with regard to FTP. As far as docking pay, well, hmmm, that's mean of them. Anyway, download the FTP program and email me, and I'll see if we can't get you up and running.
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???
I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com
I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.
Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.
can't access right now, but try Kansasii or something like that

Same here..with ExText cannot access...
voice file unless asked for the voice file. Only QA has access. You can pull up the report just no voice file.
Wireless access?
So how do you have access to the internet along the way? Satellite?
/Would absolutely LOVE to do this as husband is schoolteacher off all summer, but I'm always working.
Wireless access. sm
In my past dial-up days, I used pay phones and calling cards to upload/download work. It is so much easier to connect to the Internet than it used to me because wireless access points are everywhere! (I am an IC and download voice file; I don't have to be connected to a system to receive work so if that is your situation, you may not find it as easy to work on the road.)
Depending on what wireless card you have, you can either use that software or Windows to find a wireless network to access the 'net. I've hit access points in campgrounds (that's our big pasttime), from parking lots at community colleges, hotels, libraries, Panera, McDonald's and even open home networks from the grocery store parking lot.
Your BIGGEST issue in all of this, however, is security. Make sure that you're using encryption to both send and receive; a VPN client is even better if your company has that set up.
You may want to buy an AC/DC power converter (about $35 at Wal-Mart) that plugs into your car's lighter. You then plug your computer's power cord into the unit for power.
Footpedals can be optional, depending on your software. I know that with ExpressScribe you can use the F keys to control playback, etc.
I have always had an access # assigned....
If you could get into a records system without a private passcode, that would be a major HIPAA situation! I always have a sign-in ID asigned by the facility for any C-phone account I have worked; but it is strange that you are hearing a beep and not an operator giving instructions. I've never had that situation before. If you don't have an account Lead you can contact to get help, I'm thinking you'd best tell your employer this isn't working! Good luck.
Do you have access to DSL or cable?
What you're thinking of doing may be more stressful to you than you think. The price for the high-speed Internet would certainly be worth it.
Help - I can't access my Email
It lets me sign in but the page says unavailable or something like that, the error page that comes up if you can't get on the Internet. It happens on two different accounts - verizon and yahoo. and on both computers in my home. I was chatting live with support for an hour and I accidentally closed the chat and I'm too tired to start over again. Anybody know what happened? Sorry if this is the wrong board for this. Thanks in advance
No productivity access
Did you request a copy of the productivity log submitted by the hospital? That is all you have to do if your company did not submit one to you automatically. In addition, keep your own private long with accession numbers and times, anything you would need to support a discrepancy. There are a lot of programs out there that do not support that type of operation, so do not think you are being lied to. Just make sure they are right.
Has anyone ever let the company they work for access your..sm
computer for tech help? The place I am starting with has a program I need to download and use. I am having problems with the program and they didnt offer much help via emails. They just wanted me to "register" my computer so that they could access it and find the problem and fix it themselves. This sounds extremely dangerous to me. If they can access my computer to fix it, then what stops them from coming in to look around at personal info, such as on line banking info, or other personal info? Also, my husband has a lot of high security stuff from his job on his computer and since we are all hooked together, could they access that too? Sounds really odd to me. Has anyone else heard of this? Thanks.
Yes, I've let my company access my computer.
I used to do the same for one of my MT clients and for remote users as a computer technician. You can sit there and watch everything they do. It's not like they're hacking your computer or keylogging your data. You can shut them down if you're uncomfortable with what they're doing, and delete their access capability when they've finished.
THank you! Many people have access at this monitor.
Thank you!!
Digital Access Transcription
What can anyone tell me about Digital Access Transcription as a company? I searched the Archives and came up with nothing. I have not gone to the "other site" yet. Just wondering in looking for different companies and what they have to offer pros and cons.
thanks
Fair Access policy
I have DW7000 professional and even with the extra download and upload capability they will still shut me down if I go over their limit. Also I am on SatMex and have had occasional trouble as long as I have had the system. Sometimes I just want to run over the dish and modem with my Jeep!!
C-phone access code ?? sm - HELP!
I bought a C-phone from E-bay. When dialing a number, I get a message telling me I must use the "access code." I am sure this is something that was put in there by the previous owner(s). Can someone tell me how to "erase" this directive or clear the machine?
Access code is required...sm
This is what it says when I try to get to that site:
Welcome to MedAbbrev.com, the premiere website for medical abbreviations and more.
New users please have your Access Code ready and click the Register button on the left (Access code can be found on the inside front cover of your printed book). If you do not have a copy of the book, please click Book Order Form.
