Connect via dialup
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?). -- Corday |

Under add/delete programs/windows resources 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.

All that installing Dial-Up Networking involves are some registry settings. Can't connect to Internet (I'm on a different computer now). Error messages and logs are the clue here. What do they have to say? 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?). 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. -- Mike Maltby |

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. -- Corday "Mike M" wrote: Corday wrote: Modem works fine (can fax etc.).

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. -- Mike Maltby Corday wrote: I'll try. Forgot to mention I reinstalled ME. Problem started when I downloaded new 1.5 version of Spybot.

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! -- Corday "Mike M" wrote: If you've got or had Norton installed then all bets are off and you would be best advised to clean install Win Me.

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 -- Mike Maltby Corday wrote: Figured out I need disk with device drivers.
