What I should NOT remove to use a dial-up connection

Recommended Posts

Hi, after a nlited Windows XP setup made with nlite 1.3 I've noticed that my 56k modem no longer works. ( :blushing: I know, it's 2007 and someone is still using dialup connection... what a shame :rolleyes: )

I've copied the old telephone number of my ISP and create a new connection using that number; when i tried to connect a window appears saying that there is no signal, but the same modem used with another pc (without any "nlitement") on the same telephone line works and connects... So I've tried another modem: this time the window "Connecting to ######" appears, but the modem emits no sign of life and that window remains there.

The modem were of course connected to the telephone line (I'm not so stupid :sneaky: ) and the XP drivers were successfully installed, any advice?

This is my nlite configuration:

Maybe this is not problem with nLite at all. Try this:

Open Help and Support and type this into search bar:

Wait for dial tone before dialing

Follow the steps (you need to uncheck option Wait for dial tone before dialing).

Cheers ;)

Hi, thanks for your suggestion, I've tried it and once a time in several attempts the modem emits the classic noise but it stops after a few seconds :unsure: (but at least it's an improvement!)

BTW I've previously disable various windows services (following the BlackViper safe preset + little personal enhancements), someone knows which are the essential services required to dial-up (or the winXP components not to remove?)

Thanks

OK, I think I found the problem. You removed the communication tools (on your preset Comunicazioni). Read the description in nlite for this and you will see that it includes Phone Dialer. And I recommend you to switch to the latest version of nlite, version 1.4 Final since a lot of bugs is repaired.

Cheers ;)

You are right! The safe preset of nlite remove it... Is there a way to install it in windows without formatting and reinstalling XP? (I've read the nlite faq, especially "Can i add things back once they have been removed?", but i have always a last hope...)
