re: Question about 'Setting up Dial-Up Networking' Tuesday, November 26, 2002 at 4:37 am Posted by rebootbill (764 messages posted) Paul, did you do a fresh install or just over the previous installation? uninstall dialup networking from windows add/remove programs (windows setup), reboot, go back into add/remove programs, reinstall dialup networking. now try to make a new connection. by the way is your modem driver installed correctly?

The install I did was over the top of the last one. I re-installed the DUN as you suggested but didn't resolve. Also, I haven't checked the modem driver. It says that the modem is working fine in the config, but will be just as well to download it and re-install again.

Apologies, I'm at work at the moment so explaining the problem by memory at the moment. Will try re-installing driver though.

Spent weeks in what the heck is going on here land. After days and hours on phone with ISP techs found one who was a hacker and got me on line with a string. Was able to download a modem fix from the manufactureres sight. There is a wealth of free info on this subject at "modemsite.com". You might want to check it out. drake On Tuesday, November 26, 2002 at 7:56 am, rebootbill wrote: >just because it says it's working, that doesn't mean it is. control panel, modems, >select your modem, go to diagnostics tab, see if computer can communicate with the >modem, if not, the drivers not installed properly. > > [Reply or follow-up to this message] Tip: Use one of the [Reply or follow-up to this message] links above to add a message to this thread Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 98 Discussion Forum
