| 114830 | 2003-01-18 05:51:00 | I think I got a virus. Had some strange things happen? Using w98SE with Award BIOS I get a 'Modem not responding message' when trying to dialup. Changed from an internal modem to external but still getting the same message. Do I have a problem with BIOS? |

| 114832 | 2003-01-18 07:09:00 | Why do you think you have a virus? Do you run an anti-virus program? What other unusual symptoms have you been getting? There are a few reasons for your modem not responding but without more information there is no point in listing them. |

| 114833 | 2003-01-18 09:12:00 | There are a couple of things you could look for first of all. Go into Control Panel-System-Device Manager and check out your modem to see if it says the device is working or otherwise. You could also go into Modems from Control Panel, highlight the modem and go into Diagnostics-more info to run a check on the modem. |

| 114834 | 2003-01-18 10:00:00 | Following from Terry, if everything does check out okay, then you could reinstall your Dialup Connection? - just delete the one that's in there (note down the dialup number for your ISP first and any settings that it uses) and then click Add New Connection, and follow the settings along! - just be aware that sometimes Dialup Networking may bind NetBeui and IPX/SPX Protocols to your connection in which ISP's like Xtra don't like as they only allow the TCP/IP protocol | cyberchuck (173) | ||
| 114835 | 2003-01-18 10:43:00 | Check for any incorrect modem strings in Extra settings. If there is a string there which is not the correct one for your modem then it will give modem not responding error. Double-click on My Computer, then double-click on Dial-Up Networking. Right-click on the ISP connection icon and choose Properties. Click the Configure button. Click the Connection tab. Click the Advanced button. Delete anything in the Extra Settings box. |
