How To Fix Error 678
do you have verizon wireless internet and you are using their vzaccess manager to connect online. and when you try to tether you mobile phone to your laptop or computer you get this error that says:connection failed - the remote computer did not respond.
error 678
so you want to know how to fix it. if you are getting this error you are probably frustrated because you get this error too and you can't get help from verizon. well, i m going to share how i was able to fix my problem
step 1 - restart your computer
step 2 - restart your mobile phone, i have a blackberry, i just shut it down, wait 10 seconds, and then power it back on.
then try again, it should work this time.
i have an hp laptop dv2000 with windows 7
A good question would be, who uses this anymore. Did you know that other carriers like AT&T and Tmobile allow you to setup your smart phone as a hot spot.. yeah, I canceled my verizon because they wanted to charge me for allowing me to setup my iphone as a hot spot, i switched and never went back.
you should upgrade your service, this is very old man!

i was able to fix mine. i went to network connection configuration and set it to verizon connection. for some reason, i was messing around with my phone and i changed a configuration setting. after i changed it and i restarted my phone it worked. thanks for your help, i thought verizon had disconnected my internet service because i exceeded the limit. but i came across your article. unlike dave, it worked for me.
