178372	2003-09-27 11:24:00	hellgets a bit furthor but canot get connect with a dial up ...... bit so youre telling me the old upgrade kit cd that came with th pc co puter is no longer valid or it didnt pick up the correct stuff offf it? or i need to look on the net for another download? and i was told half an hour and ill be all sweet ? try 36 hours so far .... but then i have not been at my puter for that many hours, yet but thats about from when i started on this dumb idea of a project... thanxs metla, where do i look to tell me what sort of modem i have or whatever info i need for it? beetle	beetle (243)
178373	2003-09-27 11:30:00	If you have a cd with the modem drivers on it then by all means load it on,i cant really guess what you do or dont have on cd. But we can have a look and see if windows has found your modem. To do this go to the control panel,click the "phone and modems options" icon then click the modem tab,It should list your modem in there,if not then it needs a driver.	metla (154)
178374	2003-09-27 11:43:00	it says its a soft 56 data fax voice speakerphone CARP ? so it must have found it, but why can i not get it to set up access to the net? by means of a new connection? am i missing something simple here? or does it need drivers? or something else? that cd i said about was the same one that supposedly had VIA support info on when it actually didnt work? so am i presuming to much by saying that it wont have modem stuff on it to? on it says PCI sound LAN HomPNA Fax/modem VGA ? any ideas? cos i havent a clue :D beetle	beetle (243)
178375	2003-09-27 11:47:00	Nope,at the moment i have drawn a blank,the drivers are all in place by the sound of it,and you should be able to make a new connection. Maybe a search of the forum is in order,or someone else might have 2 cents to inject.	metla (154)
178376	2003-09-27 11:49:00	oh ok thanxs metla, thats me for tonight to anyway, patience is a virtue im learning, as rome was not built in a day. and my puter will live till tomorow without this info. thanxs all, beetle	beetle (243)
178377	2003-09-27 12:09:00	on a different tack had a look at network settings? and it comes up add default setting or some such thing. says Error 711, explains its a configuration error, preventing connection. any ideas? will google it tomorow, beetle	beetle (243)
178378	2003-09-27 22:18:00	Trying this thread now.... :p Beetle, you have set up your dialup connection to Xtra and Clear, haven't you? The modem won't work unless it knows where to go...... > and i was told half an hour and ill be all sweet ? Yeah, well, that is how long most people take. But they don't have a habit of throwing sticks in the works! :p :D	Susan B (19)
178379	2003-09-27 22:33:00	Does your WinXP disk include SP1, or did you installed SP1 yourself?	Jen C (20)
178380	2003-09-27 22:50:00	:p susan yeah well you should know me by now i dont do anything by half. um will check what is on add / remove progs but i have not put any updates on as of yet since refresh crap thing done. went down and had a look only thing it has is service pack sp1 a? treid adding a connection and it just pops up error 711.... looked on google and its says fix it by auto remote thing and something and that then throws up another error at me and wont start it. it must see my modem as it can tell me what it is, but cant add to it or get my connections wizard working ok. so yes i tried to tell it what to look for and all that but am lost now, need some more thrown around i guess so it really becomes clear as mud? :D beetle	beetle (243)
