265421 2004-08-26 06:43:00 This old PIII machine came with this "Lucent Win Modem" (as detected by Win 98 - shown in Control Panel).

But when trying to use Inetwiz to setup Dial up Internet connection, This Wizard cannot detect the modem. From the Control Panel, this Win modem is connected to COM3.

How do I get this Wizard to look for COM3 - it could only search for COM1 & COM2.

Cheers

265422 2004-08-26 07:02:00 You need to run the correct driver software.

COM3 is a "virtual" COM port that the driver will create.

Lucent are just the chip maker, not the modem maker

Look at the modem with your eyes to get the make and model, then get the correct driver.

265423 2004-08-26 07:06:00 Not quite,all modems with lucent chips will run off the same family of drivers.

No need to identify them down to the last detail like modems running conxiant chips.

a google for lucent driver should turn up the goods pretty easily,5.2 was always a favourite of mine for no real reason.

Definitly remove the modem and reinstall it.

265426 2004-08-26 07:20:00 Are those numbers off the chip or printed on a sticker or the board?
