BAH Posted October 28, 2001 Posted October 28, 2001 This is the modem i use if my cable modem goes down but it wont work with XP, i have tried the win2k driver but get no responce from modem.Any sean the driver anywere...?Regards,BAH
Silent_Stryder Posted October 30, 2001 Posted October 30, 2001 Is you system by any chance a Dell? My Dell at work had ( Had to use it in another computer) the same modem and I was able to get it to work with the drivers supplied by Dell. Of course it could be different, but I'm just taking a stab......
Guest LouCypher Posted October 30, 2001 Posted October 30, 2001 Nahh, his is homebuilt. Check the "PC Specs" link in his .sig*I'm* jealous of his system (and his Pony).
BAH Posted October 30, 2001 Author Posted October 30, 2001 Yep the pc is home built, the modem is just a backup but the think dont like xp at all it recognised it but it wont dial out....Ill be adding some more pics of the car this week, keep checking.I also got my mate to record a wav at the weekend of the engine its on the site now.Regards,BAH
Guest LouCypher Posted October 30, 2001 Posted October 30, 2001 This seems like a stupid question but since you said XP recognizes it but won't dial out...What message is it giving you, or is it not showing up under "Phone and Modem Options" in Control Panel. Does it come back with Diagnostic information under Properties, or does it fail at that point to communicate with the modem.The stupid question would be are you sure it hasn't been fried by a surge? (lightning)If it had been you'd still be able to get diagnostic info in most cases but you'd get error messages during the dialup process.I used to work as a PC tech and people not using a surge suppressor on the phone line was the reason why modems were are biggest seller and most frequent replacement. People think they're safe just having a surge suppressor on the A/C.The easiest answer would be if it's still working under another OS.
BAH Posted October 30, 2001 Author Posted October 30, 2001 Yes it passes the diags and recognises the modem, im using the win2k driver that came with it, but when it attempts to dial it doesn't pick up the line and just sits there pretending to dial.If i plug it into my laptop Win98 it works everytime.Regards,BAH
Guest LouCypher Posted October 31, 2001 Posted October 31, 2001 I'm stumped. Other than needing a new driver, I dunno.
Silent_Stryder Posted October 31, 2001 Posted October 31, 2001 You may want to try these drivers. They came from Dell and are for Win XP....... As I said before, I run Dells at work and I had these drivers work. Maybe they will do you some good.....ht*p://support.dell.com/us/en/filelib/results.asp?sid=DIM_PNT_P3C_4100〈=FR&lib=0&os=WW1&searchtype=filter&devid=1535Do not post active links.....your link was modified by a admin/mod[/color:2ceadf92aa]

roban Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 I had a Conexant HFC modem and had the same problem with XP. I found a generic Conexant HFC driver and installed it and it ran fine. It just did not have the voice capability. I have the driver although I finally switched to an ESS with plenty of XP support. If you want the driver I can e-mail it to you. roban@optonline.net
