Connect via dialup

[Guest Corday]

Modem works fine (can fax etc.). Under add/delete programs/windows resources

"Communications" 6.3 meg is grayed out and when opened shows 0.0 megs for

phone/ dial up options. Can't connect to Internet (I'm on a different

computer now). Tried to open a new TCP/IP protocol, but it always reverts to

only the non-address ones already installed. Port 110 is probably where

everything works from (or not?).

In WinME it's 'Setup', you must have a different OS, but the problem is the

same: Networking, it has to be enabled. Someone will help you with it

shortly.

This is correct. All that installing Dial-Up Networking involves are some

registry settings.

Error messages and logs are the clue here. What do they have to say?

Rather than playing around with the TCP/IP settings which I feel is far

more likely to cause rather than solve problems I would suggest that you

create a new dial-up "connectoid" using the Dial-Up Networking Wizard

(Start | Settings | Dial-Up Networking). Use this and if you still cannot

connect make a note of the errors.

I'll try. Forgot to mention I reinstalled ME. Problem started when I

downloaded new 1.5 version of Spybot. It killed Adaware, Sygate and

Spyblaster as well as corrupting Norton. I've deleted them all for now.

If you've got or had Norton installed then all bets are off and you would

be best advised to clean install Win Me. Norton is a system killer when

installed on Win Me although it's not much better regardless of the

operating system in use.

 

The best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

Figured out I need disk with device drivers. Original from Dell was for NT

not ME. They don't have it anymore. Conexant doesn't either (Conexant HCF V90

56K RTAD Speakerphone PCI). Even though modem works, as long as Communication

resource is incomplete, connection is impossible. Help!

Re: Connect via dialup

 

Have you tried using the generic v90 56k modem driver that is built in to

Win Me?

 

Assuming that you have Win Me's Dial-Up Networking installed (Add/Remove

Programs | Windows Setup | Communications | Details and check "Dial-Up

Networking", and then OK and Apply) you can something similar to what

follows (difficult for me to reproduce the steps exactly as my Win Me box

has no modem)

 

When asked for the driver disk when installing the modem select "(Standard

Modem Types") in the manufacturers list in the LH pane and in the RH pane

select "Standard 56000 bps V90 Modem".

 

Alternatively download and try the original NT driver for your modem from

http://driverzone.com/device.php?id=9442
