14097	2001-06-13 10:34:00	Hi..trying to help a friend with modem probs... His modem got worse at connecting over a few days.. He uninstalled it..reinstalled it..new drivers... it gets recognised at com 3 but he gets 'cannot detect modem' message.. wondering if the modem has actually packed up with it going down gradually like that..any help much appreciated Thanks Pete	Guest (0)

I have found this works for me in the past. Windoz may just get it right!!!	Guest (0)

There was a problem with the Network settings which I resolved. But we had changed the phone at about the same time, and I don't know why but I cannot connect to the internet properly with that phone plugged in. I have to disconnect the phone. Get him to try changing the modem connection speed to a slower speed. Slowing down the modem allows me to connect with the offending phone plugged in. You can try typing 'AT+MS=V34' into the Extra Settings place in the modem properties dialog.	Guest (0)
