A dial-up networking prob
PROBLEM
This computer connects fine through my network dhcp broadband server, but when I attempt to connect through dial-up networking it seems not able to receive dhcp information and thus has no setting for dns servers etc... and all I can get is page cannot be displayed. ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION I have re-installed modem drivers, dun and TCP/IP half a dozen and have scoured the MS knowledge base. my feeling on this issue is that DUN is not re-installing new files OR telephony files are corrupted OR something in the registry is wreaking havoc. It's a Lucent winmodem brand new. |

Ken Wood had this to say: ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION I have re-installed modem drivers, dun and TCP/IP half a dozen and have scoured the MS knowledge base. my feeling on this issue is that DUN is not re-installing new files OR telephony files are corrupted OR something in the registry is wreaking havoc. It's a Lucent winmodem brand new. Seeing as you don't mind getting into your case you could try this and see what happens... Open up the device manager and remove all modems. Turn the computer off and physically remove the modem. Restart. Turn off the PC again and this time put the modem back in and let Windows ME find/install the drivers for it. Unless, of course, you have a CD. In that case when you reboot without the modem in the case you should install the drivers from the CD if it's has that as an option, then turn off the PC, and then boot. Don't ask me why it seems to work (I've had to do this before) it just has in the past and might be what you're needing to do. Galen -- "My mind rebels at stagnation.

I have a similar problem and went to a tech rep at Micro Center here and was told that this is caused by the HOSTS file (not the HOST SAM file) . His suggestion was to find another ME user who was not having this problem and copy their HOSTS file to a floppy and then copy it over to your C:\Windows directory. I have not done this yet because I don't know anyone with ME loaded on their machine. If you try this and it is successful please send me a copy of the HOSTS file that you copied. Please attach it to an email sent to Thank you. "Galen" wrote in message ...

I have a similar problem and I can only find the hosts.sam file. Where is the
host file normally located?

Win Me includes no such file, just a sample that can be used as a template if you decide to create and use a hosts file. Where is the host file normally located? In the Windows folder. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP |
