| 73646 | 2002-08-24 23:53:00 | Try slowing the modem to a maximum speed of 33.6K. Connecting at 33.6K is much more stable than at 56K protocol. Follow the instructions below, and enter the string of +ms=v34.if is an HSP, HCF, MultiTech, LT Winmodem, Conexant or other software based modem. Here's how: For Win 95 98 ME 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. Change maximum speed to 38.400 Click the Connection tab. Click the Advanced button. In "Extra settings," enter the string. +MS=V34 Click OK to save changes. Shut down the computer (Start - Shut Down - Shut Down), and turn it back on to activate the changes. |

| 73648 | 2002-08-25 02:15:00 | What string you use depends on your modem model. Double-click on My Computer, then double-click on Dial-Up Networking. Right-click on the ISP connection icon and choose Properties. At the bottom where it says Connect Using let me know what modem is showing there Click the Configure button. Click the Connection tab. Click the Advanced button. Delete all settings and restart the computer. I will give you a string suitable for your modem type. |

| 73650 | 2002-08-25 04:37:00 | Look on it to find the maker and model, and go to the makers website, see if there are later drivers for it. Internal "soft" modems either work or they dont quite. Sounds like yours is the latter. |

| 73652 | 2002-08-31 18:15:00 | Hi, Have a Internal Lucent modem that would not work at all (was recognized by Windows..but no communication), after sitting dormant for 2 years in my PC (after purchasing) box before joining the Internet. So took it out, wiped the pins with a cotton bud, reinserted, and Windows communicated straight away...So perhaps try a clean... |
