Re: Ingentaconnect problems? Sarah D. Tusa 23 Apr 2008 16:21 UTC

I wonder if it has more to do with the "Class" of IP address that they
accept.  I'm no 'techie,' but I have run into situations where the IP
class is somewhat restrictive, or sometimes there is a specific syntax
for entering the IP address(es).

My problem with Ingenta is not anything to do with connection, but they
do not have very good customer service or technical support.  If I try
to set up an account with them and enter my ip addresses (which I got
from our systems department), they tell me my ip addresses are incorrect

and that I have to put in different ones.  It's not as if I typed them
in incorrectly.  I copy and paste them from somewhere else.  They are
the same ips we use for all of our products, but ingenta says they are
wrong.  I eventually gave up and won't even set up online access if it
is coming from ingenta.
