I'm not sure but I have had problems with winmodems and I have to say if the modem connects on Com 2 then Com 2 is always installed. You haven't got the physical Com 2 enabled in the Bios have you as this could cause problems/conflicts.	Berryb (654)

If your modem is on Com 2 then you should have Com 2 disabled in the Bios, unless of course it is an external modem. Then under add/remove programs you can add Com2 with the required settings. I not saying that this will fix your problem as you can already connect but worth a go.	Berryb (654)

278647	2004-10-08 18:47:00	The modem driver instals a virtual com port. You shouldn't have to be doing anything extra related to com ports, that is a sign that you have the wrong driver or the instal process is borked.	PaulD (232)
