Re: Ingentaconnect problems? Nicola Cecchino 24 Apr 2008 13:13 UTC

I've learned that often times it's occasionally a title by title issue.  It's sort of ingrained in my brain that we first look at each title and or how you've licensed the resource.  You might look into your subscription numbers, in the event that you have more than one for Ingenta or perhaps they've provided you with an incorrect one.  IP addresses might have been incorrectly placed.  Lastly, are you the administrator of the subscription - if you are, double check who's name is in their system because they may not recognize your name.  Just some things that came to mind as I've been reading this thread chronologically backward.

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.
